Note: You should check the contents after opening
your purchase and make sure that every item is
included.
Note: The HDMI connection between PC and TV
may cause radio interference in which case it is
recommended to use VGA(DSUB-15) connection.
Connection to a cable distribution system has
therefore to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency range
(galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
Electrical devices not in the hands of children
Never let children use electrical devices unsupervised.
Children cannot always recognize properly any
possible danger. Batteries / accumulators can be life
threatening when swallowed. Store batteries out of
the reach of small children. In case of swallowing a
battery, medical aid has to be sought immediately.
Also keep the packaging away from children as there
is danger of suffocation.
The Standby button does not fully switch off this
product. Moreover, the device continues to consume
power in standby mode. In order to separate the
device completely from mains, the mains plug has to
be pulled from the mains socket. Because of that the
device should be set up in a way, that an unobstructed
access to the mains socket is guaranteed, so that
in case of emergency the mains plug can be pulled
immediately. During periods of prolonged non-use,
the TV should be disconnected from the mains power
supply.

Environmental Information
• This television is designed to consume less energy to save the environment.
You not only help to save the environment but you can also save money by reducing electricity bills thanks to the
energy efficiency features of this TV. To reduce energy consumption, you should take the following steps:
• You can use the Power Save Mode setting, located in the Other settings menu. If you set the Power Save
Mode as On, the TV will switch to energy-saving mode and the luminance level of the TV set will be decreased
to optimum level. Note that some picture settings will be unavailable when the TV is in Power Save Mode.
• When the TV is not in use, please switch off or disconnect the TV from the mains plug. This will also reduce
energy consumption.
• Note that annually, using the TV set in Power Save Mode has more power efficiency than disconnecting
the TV from the mains plug instead of keeping stand-by mode. Therefore it is highly recommended to
activate Power Save Mode setting to reduce your annual power consumption. And also it is recommended
to disconnect the TV from the mains plug to save energy more when you do not use.
• Please helps us to save environment by following these steps.
Repair Information
Please refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Only qualified personnel must repair the TV. Please contact
your local dealer, where you purchased this TV for further information.
