Important safety instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Please, read these safety instructions and
respect the following warnings before the
ap-pliance is operated:
This TV with the weight of more than 20 kg must be lifted
and carried by at least two people.
Be careful! This TV does not contain any parts which could
be repaired by the user. In case of a fault, contact the produ-
cer or the authorized service. The contact with certain parts
inside the appliance might endanger your life. The guaran-
tee is not provided for the faults caused by non-professional
interactions!
Do not remove the rear part of the appliance.
In order to prevent re
spread, always keep candles
and other open ames away
from this product.
This appliance is designed for receiving and reproduction of
video and sound signals. Any other use is strictly forbidden.
The ideal distance to watch TV is approximately ve times
the diagonal of the screen. The light striking upon the
screen from other light sources can cause reections and
make the quality of the picture worse.
Please, ensure the sucient ventilation and appropriate
distance of the appliance from other pieces of furniture.
The TV set is designed exclusively for the operation in a
dry place. When using the appliance outside, please, make
sure it is protected against moisture (rain, splashing water).
Never expose the appliance to moisture.
Do not place any containers with water on the appliance,
such as vases, etc. These containers might get pushed over,
which would endanger electric safety. Place the appliance
exclusively on at and stable surfaces. Do not place any
objects such as newspaper or blankets, etc. on or under the
appliance.
Make sure the appliance does not stand on any power
cables as they might get damaget. Mobile phones and other
devices such as WLAN adapters, monitoring cameras with
wireless signal transmission, etc. might cause electromag-
netic interference and they should not be placed near the
appliance.
Do not place the appliance near heating elements or in
a place with direct sunshine as it has a negative eect on
cooling of the appliance. Heat storage is dangerous and it
can seriously reduce the lifetime of the appliance. In order
to ensure the safety, ask the qualied person to remove the
dirt from the appliance.
Try to prevent the mains cable or (if it is part of delivery)
mains adapter damage. The appliance can only be connec-
ted with a supplied mains cable/adapter.
Storms are dangerous for all electric appliances. If the mains
or aerial wiring is struck by the lightening, the appliance
might get damaged, even if it is turned o. Thus you should
disconnect all the cables and connectors of the appliance
before the storm.
To clean the screen of the appliance use only a damp and
soft cloth. Use only clean water, never detergents or in no
case dissol-vents.
Warning:
Never connect any external devices to a live appliance.
Switch o not only the TV but also the devices which are
being connected! Plug the appliance plug into the wall
outlet after connecting the external devices and the aerial!
The product construction responds the protection class 1.
Only a properly installed wall outlet with a guard wire (230
V~/50 Hz)of public mains can be used as power source.
Always make sure there is free access to the appliance main
switch and to its mains plug.
The appliance is not designed for a use in a workplace tted
with monitors.
The systematic use of headphones at high volume might
lead to irreversible hearing damage.
Ensure environmental disposal of this appliance and any
components including batteries. When in doubt, please,
contact your local authority for details of recycling.
While installing the appliance, do not forget that furniture
surfaces are treated with various varnishes, plastics, etc. or
they might be polished. The additions contained in these
products might cause destruction of base material of appli-
ance stand. This will result in the holdovers of this material
stuck to the furniture surface, which are dicult to remove,
if not even impossible.
The screen of your TV responds to the top quality require-
ments and it was checked in details for accidental faulty
pixels several times. Due to the technological properties of
the manufacturing process, it is not possible to eliminate the
existence of a small number of faulty points on the screen
for 100% (even with maximum care while production provi-
ded). These faulty pixels are not considered faults in terms of
guarantee conditions, if their extent is not greater than the
boundaries dened by DIN norm.

Important safety instructions
Important information regarding use of
video games, computers, captions and
other xed image displays.
The extended use of xed image program material can
cause a permanent “shadow image “ on LCD screen (this
is sometimes incorrectly referred to as“burnout to the
screen“). This shadow image is then permanently visible
on the screen in the backro-und. It is a partly irreversible
damage. You can avoid such a damage by respecting the
following instructions:
Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum
viewing level.
Do not display the xed image for a long period of time.
Avoid displaying of:
»Teletext time and charts,
»TV/DVD menu, e.g. DVD contents,
»In the„Pause“ mode (hold): Do not use this mode for a
long time, e.g. while watching a DVD or a video.
»Turn o the appliance if you are not using it.
Batteries
Observe the correct polarity when inser-
ting the batteries.
Do not expose batteries to high tempera-
tures and do not place them on locations
where the temperature might increase
quickly, e.g. near the re or on the direct
sunshine.
Do not expose batteries to excessive
radiant heat, do not throw them into the
re, do not disassemble them and do not try ato recharge
unrechargeable batteries. They could leak out or explode.
»Never use dierent batteries together or mix new and
old ones.
»Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
»Most of the EU countries regulate the disposal of batte-
ries by law.
Product disposal
Waste electrical products should not
be disposed of with household waste.
Separate disposal facilities exist. Check

Getting started - initial set up
As part of our ongoing development to reduce power consumption, we have added an extra function to this Television called
‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during the first time installation set up). Power consumption using the Ecohome function is
approximately 15% lower than some other modes. The picture brightness is reduced using the Ecohome function. If this function is
not suitable for your viewing environment, you can select other modes as necessary. (Please note, ‘Professional’ mode is for optimum
default picture settings, however, power consumption is approximately 15% higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)
Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture settings’ in order to change the mode to one that maybe more suitable for your
environment. There is also a shortcut button on the remote control called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to another mode.
