2. Safety notes
• Always place the monitor on a solid,
stable surface.
• If a cold TV set is moved to a warm
room, always allow any condensation
on the screen to evaporate before swit-
ching it on.
• The TV set is intended for use in a dry
room. If, in exceptional circumstances,
you use it outdoors, take care that is
protected against moisture (rain, splas-
hed water, dew).
• TV sets need adequate ventilation.
Never cover the openings on the rear
of the set with curtains, doilies, new-
spapers, etc. Also take care that the
slits in the bottom of the case are freely
accessible so that the intake of the
cooling air is not hindered.
• If you place the TV set in a wall unit,
leave sufficient space on all sides for
the circulation of cooling air.
• Do not place the TV set close to a radi-
ator, since this would effect adequate
cooling.
• Do not place
- burning candles or
vessels containing liquids (vases, etc.)
on top of the TV set, since any hot wax
or water dripping into the set could
cause serious damage to the electronic
components and could also jeopardize
the electrical safety of the set.
• Lightning can damage electrical equip-
ment. A lightning flash entering the
power cable or the aerial cable can
damage the TV set even if it is swit-
ched off. You should therefore discon-
nect the power cable and aerial cable
from their outlets or from the TV set in
the case of a thunderstorm.
• The monitor may be opened and
repaired only by a qualified person.
CAUTION! HIGH VOLTAGES CAN KILL !
If repairs should be necessary, consult
your local dealer.
• Always switch off the TV set before cle-
aning it.
• Do not hold the remote control directly
in front of your eyes and press a but-
ton. The remote control emits infrared
radiation!
• Do not place rechargeable batteries in
the battery compartment of the remote
control. Use only two 1.5 V dry batte-
ries of the type LR03/AM4/AAA
(Micro).
• The TV set is intended only for the
reception and reproduction of picture
and sound signals.
• The TV set may be operated only from
a mains voltage of 230-240V VAC,
50 Hz. Australia: 240 VAC.
• For maintenance and repair work, the
power plug or the power-cord input of the
TV represents a means to disconnect the
device from the mains and must therefore
be kept in a usable state in line with appli-
cable standards.
• Lay the power cable so that nothing
stands on it and no-one can trip over it.
• Do not display still images, logos, 4:3
pictures with stripes etc. over an exten-
ded period. These still images can
result in marks on the screen.
