Dear customer,

• Take care that no bright artificial light or sunshi-
ne falls directly on the screen. This could cause
reflections which have a negative effect on the
brilliance of the picture.
• The optimum viewing distance is about five
times the screen diagonal dimension. For TV
sets with a 70 cm screen, it is thus about 3.5
metres.
• The antenna cable and any other components
(such as a video recorder) connected between
the antenna socket in the wall and the TV set
must comply with the European standard 
EN 60966-2-4.
• The antenna cable used for connecting the TV
set must have a screening attenuation of at least
75 dB.
• The use of non-approved cables will invalidate
the operating permission for the TV set.
• For details of how to connect peripheral devices
such as video recorders, DVD players, etc. press
the „INFO“ key to call the help function, select
„Connecting AV devices“ with the cursor and
press „OK“ to display the information.

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 batteries 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.
• Lay the power cable so that nothing
stands on it and no-one can trip over
it.
• Do not display still pictures, logos, etc.
for long periods, since this may result
in permanent marking of the screen.

The remote control sends commands to
the TV set by means of an infrared sig-
nal. You must point it towards the TV set
when using it. Note that the remote con-
trol may interfere with the operation of
other devices which use infrared signals
(such as infrared headphones).
Sunlight falling directly on the TV set
may interfere with the operation of the
remote control, since the TV set cannot
detect the infrared signals from the
remote control under these conditions.
The TV set must be switched on with the
main power switch before it can be con-
trolled with the remote control.
