any kind.
Do not place the TV set close to the heating or in direct sunlight, as it could
overheat.
Heat buildup can be dangerous and is detrimental to the service life of the

the inside of the set.
Do not open the TV set under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts no
liability for damage resulting from unauthorised tampering.
Make sure that the mains cable is not damaged.

to a menu with »FF«.
