− Liquid has penetrated the device
− The device is not operating correctly
− The device has fallen, or the housing is damaged
− Smoke is rising from the device
3.2. Set-up location
− In the first few hours of use, new devices can give off a typ-
ical, unavoidable but totally harmless smell which wears off
with time. We recommend that you ventilate the room at
regular intervals to counteract the smell. We have taken ap-
propriate measures during the development of this device to
ensure that levels are significantly below legal limits.
− Keep your Full HD Caravan TV and all connected applianc-
es away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sun-
light. Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to
faults or damage to the Full HD Caravan TV.
− Do not use the device outdoors as it could be damaged by
rain, snow, etc.
− The device must not be exposed to dripping or sprayed
water. Do not place vessels filled with liquid (vases or simi-
lar) on or in the vicinity of the device. The container may tip
over and the liquid may impair the electrical safety of the
product.

9
EN

the furniture unit. Ensure a minimum clearance of 10 cm
around the device for sufficient ventilation.

order to protect your eyes.
− The optimal viewing distance is 3 times the screen diago-
nal.
DANGER!
Risk of injury! Mortal danger!
Only set up your TV on a stable surface. Televisions that
tip over could cause serious injuries or death. Lots of in-
juries, especially to children, can be avoided by observ-
ing the following safety precautions.
Operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free
base, to prevent the Full HD Caravan TV from falling over.
Only use the stand and screws supplied with the TV.
− Only use furniture that guarantees the safe use of the TV.
− Ensure that the TV does not hang over the edges of the fur-
niture.
− Do not place the TV on higher or high furniture such as
wall cabinets or shelves without ensuring that both the fur-
niture and the TV are safely and securely held in place.
− In order to guarantee the stability of the TV, do not place
any sheets or similar under it.

10
− Advise children of the dangers of climbing up furniture in
order to reach the TV or its operating elements.
If you are storing or moving the TV, also observe the aforemen-
tioned safety instructions.
3.3. Repairs
− Repairs to your Full HD Caravan TV should only be carried
out by qualified specialists.
− If a repair must be carried out, please only contact our au-
thorised service partner.

of +5°C to +35°C with a relative humidity of 20% - 85%
(non-condensing).
− When switched off, the Full HD Caravan TV can be stored at
temperatures from -20°C to +60°C.
− Keep the product at least one metre away from sources of
high-frequency and magnetic interference (television set,
loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid
malfunctions.

used for long periods, remove the plug from the socket
and the aerial cable from the aerial socket.

11
EN
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Large changes in temperature or fluctuations in humid-
ity can cause moisture to build up due to condensation
within the Full HD Caravan TV, which can cause an elec-
trical short circuit.
After transporting the Full HD Caravan TV, wait until the ap-
pliance has reached ambient temperature before switching it
on.
3.5. Safety when connecting
3.5.1. Power supply
− Even when deactivated, some components of the device
are live. To disconnect the power from your Full HD Car-
avan TV or to completely isolate the device from voltage
sources, disconnect the device completely from the mains
network. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket
for this purpose.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
There is a risk of death due to an electric shock when
the housing is open!
Do not open the housing of the device. It does not contain
any parts requiring maintenance.
− Only plug the Full HD Caravan TV into earthed 100 - 240 V
~ 50/60 Hz sockets. Contact your electricity provider if you
are not sure if the socket is earthed or not.
− The socket must always be easily accessible so that the
mains plug can be quickly disconnected from the socket in
the event of an emergency.
− To disconnect the power supply to your TV, disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket.

12
− For extra safety, we recommend using an over-voltage pro-
tection device to prevent your Full HD Caravan TV sustain-
ing damage as a result of power surges or lightning strikes.
− Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or
tripped over.
− Do not place any objects on the cables as they may be
damaged.
− Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
− Always hold the plug by its housing and never pull it out of
the socket using the cable.
− Please note that the TV also continues to consume pow-
er in standby mode (see here the power consumption in
standby mode in the section “Product data sheet”).
All multimedia devices, which are connected to the cor-
responding ports of the TV, must comply with the re-
quirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
3.6. Handling batteries
WARNING!
Risk of explosion!
Batteries may contain combustible materials and leak,
heat up excessively, ignite or even explode.
Avoid improper handling of the batteries to prevent damage
to your device and your health.
Please follow the safety advice below closely:
− Keep batteries away from children.
If batteries are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
− Never charge batteries (unless they are designed to be re-
charged).
− Never empty the batteries by means of high power output.
− Never short-circuit the batteries.
− Never expose the batteries to excessive heat, such as sun-
light, fire or similar sources of heat!

13
EN
− Do not dismantle or deform the batteries.
You could injure your hands or fingers, or battery fluid
could come into contact with your eyes or skin. If this hap-
pens, rinse the affected areas with plenty of clean water
and consult a doctor immediately.
− Avoid heavy impacts and vibrations.
− Always observe the correct polarity.
− Make sure that the plus (+) and minus (−) poles are correct-
ly inserted to avoid short circuits.
− Do not mix up new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
This could cause your device to malfunction. In addition, the
weaker batteries would discharge too much.
− Remove spent batteries from the device immediately.
− Remove the batteries from the device if you do not intend
to use it for a long period of time.
− Replace all of the old batteries in a device with new batter-
ies of the same type.
− Cover the contacts of the batteries with sticky tape if you
want to store or dispose of them.
− If necessary, clean the battery and device contacts before
insertion.
− If the batteries have leaked, wear protective gloves and
clean the contacts thoroughly.
