ucts that feature this symbol meet the requirements of the EC directives.
Protection class II
Electrical devices in protection class II are devices that have double
and/or reinforced insulation throughout, and do not have the option
of connecting a protective earth. The housing of an electrical device
in protection class II, with surrounding insulating material, may either
form all of the additional or reinforced insulation, or part of it.

1.2. Proper use
This is an information electronics device and is also suitable for multimedia appli-
cations. This device is designed to receive and play back television channels. The
various connection options enable the additional extension of the reception and
playback sources (receiver, DVD player, DVD recorder, video recorder, PC etc.). Your
device can be used in a variety of ways.
The device is only intended for private use and not for industrial/commercial use.
• Please note that we shall not be liable in cases of improper use.
• Do not modify the device without our express agreement and do not use any ac-
cessories that have not been supplied or approved by us.
• Only use replacement parts or accessories that we have supplied or approved.
• Comply with all the information in these operating instructions, especially the safety in-
formation. Any other use is considered improper and can cause personal injury or proper-
ty damage.
• Do not use the device in extreme environmental conditions.
• This device is only suitable for use in dry interior rooms.
• This device is not suitable for use as a data monitor for office workstations.
1.3. Ultra HD
Your Smart TV features “Ultra HD” technology. This means that it can play back
high-resolution images with four times the resolution of Full HD. An Ultra HDTV sig-
nal is required.
1.3.1. HDR (High Dynamic Range)
HDR technology provides a greater dynamic range in terms of the brightness of the
colours shown. That means that every colour value reproduced can be displayed in
1024 shades instead of the previous maximum of 256. This fourfold increase in the
dynamic range makes the darkest areas of the picture even darker and the brightest
areas even brighter. It creates a more realistic impression and makes details visible
that were previously unrecognisable with a smaller brightness range. The channel,
streaming service or hardware of the connected device must support HDR and Blu-
ray must be supported.
If HDR content is to be played back, select the HDMI inputs in the SETUP
> HDMI 2.0 menu and then the ON setting.

3.2. Installation location
− Place the TV set on a sturdy, level surface. Some aggressive
varnishes can corrode the rubber feet on the device. If neces-
sary, place the device on a suitable underlay.
− When used for the first time, new devices may give off a
typical, unavoidable but completely harmless odour. This
will fade over time. We recommend you ventilate the room
regularly to help dissipate this odour. We have taken appro-
priate measures during the development of this product to
ensure that levels are well below legal limits.

nal.
DANGER!
Risk of injury! Risk of fatal injury!
Only place the TV set on stable surfaces. Falling televi-
sions may cause serious injuries and even death. Many
injuries, particularly for children, can be avoided by tak-
ing the following precautions.
Only operate the Smart TV and its components on a
sturdy, level and vibration-free surface to prevent it
from falling.

are live. To disconnect the power to your Smart TV or to
completely isolate the device from voltage sources, discon-
nect the device from the power supply completely. To do
so, remove mains plug from the socket.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
Risk of death due to electric shock when the housing is
open.
Do not open the device housing. It does not contain
any parts for maintenance by the user.
− Only operate the Smart TV from an earthed 100 to 240 V~
50/60 Hz socket. Contact your local energy supplier if you
have any questions about the power supply at the installa-
tion location.
− The socket must always be easily accessible so that the
plug can be quickly removed from the socket in an emer-
gency.
− To disconnect the power supply from your TV, pull the plug
from the socket.
− For additional safety, we recommend using a surge protec-
tion device to protect your Smart TV against damage due
to voltage spikes or lightening strike from the power sup-
ply.
