14 The pincode system
The pincode system is intended to
make normal use of your television
impossible for someone who does
not know the pincode. You choose
whether or not to activate the
pincode system.
When the pincode system is activated
and the television has been
disconnected from the mains for 15–30
minutes, the pincode system goes
into effect.
When reconnected and switched on,
the television automatically switches
itself off after four minutes. Entering
the pincode returns the television to
normal.
Activate the pincode system

Use your pincode
If your television has been disconnected from
the mains for 15–30 minutes, the television
prompts you for the pincode when you
switch it on. You may not be able to switch
the television on immediately – wait

16 Maintenance
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning
the television, is the responsibility of
the user. To achieve the best result,
follow the instructions to the right.
Contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer
to determine recommendations for
regular maintenance.
Changing the Beo4 batteries
When BATTERY appears in the Beo4 display,
it is time to change the batteries in the
remote control.
The Beo4 requires three batteries. We recommend
that you use Alkaline batteries only (1.5 V – size
AAA). Replace the batteries as shown on this
page. Keep a finger on top of the batteries until
the lid is replaced.
When you have replaced the batteries, wait about
10 seconds until TV appears in the display. The
Beo4 remote control is then ready for use.
Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like!
Cleaning
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any
part of the television, stand or wall bracket!
Cabinet surfaces
Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth.
Remove grease stains or persistent dirt with a soft,
lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped in a solution
of water containing only a few drops of mild
detergent, such as washing-up liquid.
The speaker cover may also be cleaned with a soft
brush mounted on a vacuum cleaner, set to the
lowest level.
Picture screen
To clean the picture screen, use a mild window
cleaning fluid (not containing alcohol). To retain
the optimum performance of the screen, make sure
that no streaks or traces of the cleaning fluid are
left on the screen.
Beo4
Wipe the Beo4 remote control with a soft, lint-
free, firmly wrung cloth.

retailer.
