Mains voltage
Plug the mains lead into a wall
outlet. The TV set is equipped for
230 V ac.
Your TV set is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish to use
it occasionally outdoors, be sure to protect it against any kind
of moisture (rain, splashes, dew, etc.).
Do not place
- burning candles or
- flower vases filled with water
on top of the TV set.
Hot wax and liquids destroy the electrical components and jeo-
pardize the electrical safety of the set. If you place the set in a
wall unit, leave sufficient space on all sides so that the air can
circulate freely.
Connecting the aerial
Standard SAT and terrestrial station aerial sockets are fitted at the
rear of the TV.
Thunderstorms represent a danger for all electrical appli-
ances! If lightning strikes the power line or the aerial, the
TV may be damaged even if it is switched off. Therefore,
always unplug the mains lead and aerial during thunder-
storms. If the TV is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, for instance when on holiday, then dis-
connect the set both from the mains and the aerial.

Setting up
When selecting a suitable place for the TV, be sure that no bright
light or sunlight falls on the screen. Light may cause reflections and
impair the brilliance of the image.
The best viewing distance is five times the picture tube diago-
nal, e.g. about 2.00 m for TV sets with a 37 cm screen.
TV sets require adequate ventilation.
The ventilation slots at the rear of the set should therefore
never be covered by curtains, doilies, newspapers or simi-
lar objects. Likewise, all slots at the bottom of the set must
be freely accessible so that the intake of air is not impaired
in any way.
Do not set up the TV near a radiator as this would impair
adequate cooling.
