Introduction
Thank you for choosing this product. This
manual will guide you in the proper
operation of your TV. Before operating
the TV, please read this manual
thoroughly.
Please do keep this manual in a safe
place for future references.
Preparation
For ventilation, leave a free space of at least
10 cm all around the set. To prevent any faults
and unsafe situations, please do not place any
objects on top of the set.
Use this device in moderate climates.
Safety Precautions
Please read the following recommended
safety precautions carefully for your
safety.
Power Source
The TV set should be operated only from a 220-
240 V AC, 50 Hz outlet.
Power Cord
Do not place the set, a piece of furniture, etc.
on the power cord (mains lead) or pinch the
cord. Handle the power cord by the plug. Do
not unplug the appliance by pulling from the
power cord and never touch the power cord with
wet hands as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or
tie it with other cords. The power cords should
be placed in such a way that they are not likely
to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can
cause fire or give you an electric shock. When it
is damaged and needs to be replaced, it should
be done by qualified personnel.
Moisture and Water
Do not use this device in
a humid and damp place
(avoid the bathroom, the
sink in the kitchen, and near
the washing machine). Do
not expose this device to
rain or water, as this may be
dangerous and do not place
objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, on top. Avoid
dripping or splashing.
If any solid object or liquid falls into the cabinet,
unplug the TV and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the TV
set from the wall outlet. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Use soft and dry cloth.
Ventilation
The slots and openings on the TV set are
intended for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation. To prevent overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered in
anyway.
Heat and Flames
The set should not be placed
near to open flames and
sources of intense heat such
as an electric heater. Ensure
that no open flame sources,
such as lighted candles,
are placed on top of the TV.
Batteries should not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Lightning
In case of storm and lightning
or when going on holiday,
disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, make
sure that the service technician has used

English - 5 -
replacement parts, which are specified by the
manufacturer or have the same specifications as
the original one. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
Servicing
Please refer all servicing to
qualified personnel. Do not
remove the cover yourself as
this may result in an electric
shock.
