Maintenance
• Ensure to unplug the unit from the power
supply before cleaning.
• Do not use any type of abrasive pad or
abrasive cleaning solutions as these may
damage the unit’s surface.
• Do not use liquids to clean the unit.
Temperature
• Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either
hot or cold. Place the unit well away from heat
sources such as radiators or gas / electric res
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other
sources of heat.
• Naked Flames
• Never place any type of candle or naked ame
on the top of or near the unit.
Moisture
• To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or
product damage, do not expose this unit
to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. No
objects lled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on the unit.
• If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause
serious damage. Switch it o at the mains
immediately. Withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.

hazard due to overheating, ensure that
curtains and other materials do not obstruct
the ventilation vents.
• A minimum distance of 5 cm around the unit
should be maintained to allow for sucient
ventilation.

4
other devices or moving the unit.
• Unplug the unit from the mains socket during
a lightning storm and long inactivity periods
(going on holiday).
• In the interests of safety and to avoid
unnecessary energy consumption, never leave
the unit switched on while unattended for
long periods of time, e.g. overnight, while on
holiday or while out of the house. Switch it
o and disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Mains Cable
• Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting
on top of the mains cable, as the weight of the
unit may damage the mains cable and create
a safety hazard.
• If the mains cable is damaged it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualied persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
Use only power supplies listed in the
user instructions.
The mains plug is used as disconnect
device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
Interference
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances
which may cause electromagnetic
interference. If you do, it may adversely aect
the operating performance of the unit, and
cause a distorted picture or sound.
Optimum viewing
• View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye
strain. It is recommended to watch the unit
from a distance 3-7 times that of the screen
height.
LCD screen
• The LCD screen is manufactured using high-
precision technology. However, some tiny
black points and / or bright points (red, blue
or green in colour) may constantly appear on
the LCD screen. These points are generated in
the manufacturing process and are normal.
Screen Burn
• A characteristic of Plasma and Monitor Panels
is that displaying the same image for a long
time may cause a permanent after-image to
remain on the screen. This is called screen
burn. Most pictures shown on the unit will be
constantly moving and ll the screen.
• To prevent screen burn if viewing any of
the above for long periods of time, reduce
contrast and brightness when viewing.
Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear
completely.
Standby
• The button on the unit does not switch o the
unit completely. The unit will continue to draw
electricity from the mains supply while in
standby. In the interests of safety and to avoid
unnecessary energy consumption, never
leave the unit in standby while unattended for
long periods of time, e.g. overnight, while on
holiday or while out of the house. Disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.
Supervision
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the unit.
• Never let anyone especially children push
anything into the holes, slots or any other
openings in the case - this could result in a
fatal electric shock.
Earthing
• Apparatus connected to the protective
earthing of the building installation through
the MAINS connection or through other
apparatus with a connection to protective
earthing - and to a monitor distribution
system using coaxial cable, may in some
circumstances create a re hazard. Connection
to a monitor distribution system has therefore
to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency
range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
