SAFETY INFORMATION
•Disconnect mains plug when :
– the red light below the TV screen is flashing continuously.
– cleaning the TV screen. Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
– there is a lightning storm.
– the set is left unattended for a prolonged period of time.
•No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on top of the TV or
in the vicinity.
•Do not place your TV set under direct sunlight or heat.
•Leave at least 5 cm around each side of TV set to allow for proper ventilation.
•Avoid placing your set (e.g. near the window) where it is likely to be exposed to rain or
water.
•No objects (such as vases) filled with liquids should be placed on top the TV so as to avoid
dripping or splashing of liquids on the set.
• Do not shift or move the set around when it is switched on.
• Do not connect AC/DC adaptor to your set that does not originally comes with the set.
Only use recommended part that is approved by Philips manufacturer.
• Caution : Do not use cover or enclose the AC/DC adaptor with any objects like a cloth or
box which might shorten the life time of the equipment.
• Do not touch, push or rub the surface with hard object.
• When the surface becomes dusty, wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials
like chamois, soak with petroleum benzene. Do not use acetone, toluene and acohol as it
causes chemical damage to the polarizer.
• Wipe off saliva or water droplets as soon as possible. Long time contact with polarizar
causes deformations and colour fading.
• Be careful of condensation at sudden temperature change. Condensation does damage to
polarizar or electrical contact parts. After condensation fades, smear or spot will occur.
Recycling Directive –  To minimise harm to the environment, the batteries
supplied with the TV set do not contain mercury or nickel cadmium. If possible,
when disposing of batteries, use recycling means available to you. Your TV set
uses materials which are reusable or which can be recycled. To minimise the
amount of waste in the environment, specialist companies recover used sets
for dismantling and collection of reusable materials (contact your dealer).
