Protection class II
Electrical devices in protection class II are devices that have double and/or reinforced in-

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 entertainment electronics device and is also suitable for multimedia applications. This de-
vice is designed to receive and play back television channels. The various connection options ena-
ble the additional extension of the reception and playback sources (receiver, DVD player, DVD re-
corder, 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 accessories 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 information. Any other
use is considered improper and can cause personal injury or property 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 im-
ages with four times the resolution of Full HD. An Ultra HDTV signal 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 pre-
vious 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 sta-
tion, 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 SOURCES > SOURCE
SETTINGS menu and then the ENHANCED setting.

2.2. Installation location
−Place the TV set on a sturdy, level surface. Some aggressive varnishes can corrode the rub-
ber feet on the device.
−When used for the first time, new devices may give off a typical, unavoidable but com-
pletely harmless odour. This will fade over time. We recommend you ventilate the
room regularly to help dissipate this odour. We have taken appropriate measures during
the development of this product to ensure that levels are well below legal limits.
−Keep your Smart TV and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust,
heat and direct sunlight. Non-compliance with these instructions can cause faults or
damage to the Smart TV.
−Do not use the device outdoors as it could be damaged by weather such as rain, snow
etc.
−The device may not be exposed to water droplets or spray. Do not place any liquid-filled
containers (vases or similar) on or next to the device. Such containers could tip over and
the liquid could impair the electrical safety of the device.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Risk of injury due to candles and other open flames.
Keep candles and other open flames away from this product at all times, to pre-
vent fire from spreading.
−Make sure that there is enough clearance between the device and any surrounding
furniture or walls. Ensure a minimum clearance of 10 cm around the device for suffi-
cient ventilation.
−Avoid glare, reflections and extreme dark-light contrasts to protect your eyes.
−The optimal viewing distance is 3 times the screen diagonal.
DANGER!

Only place the TV set on stable surfaces. Falling televisions may cause serious inju-
ries 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 vibra-
tion-free surface to prevent it from falling.
−Only use the TV with the supplied feet and screws.

−Do not place the TV on suspended furniture, such as wall cupboards or shelves, with-
out safely and securely fixing both the furniture and the TV set. Take care to ensure
that the furniture is mounted correctly and do not exceed its maximum load.
−Do not place any covers or similar beneath the TV to ensure that it is securely posi-
tioned.
−Warn children of the dangers of climbing on furniture when trying to reach the TV set
or its controls.
If you store or change your TV, also observe the safety instructions specified above.
2.3. Ambient temperature
−The device can be operated at an ambient temperature of +5 °C to +35 °C and at a rel-
ative humidity of 20% to 85% (non-condensing).
−When switched off, the Smart TV can be stored at temperatures of between -20 °C and
+60 °C.
−Keep the device at least one metre away from sources of high-frequency or magnetic
interference (televisions, loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) to avoid malfunctions.
−Remove the plug from the mains outlet and the antenna cable from the antenna sock-
et during a thunderstorm or if the device is not going to be used for a long period.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Major changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture to
build up within the Smart TV due to condensation – this can cause an electrical
short circuit.
After transporting the Smart TV, wait until it has reached ambient temperature
before switching it on.
2.4. Repairs
−Repairs to your Smart TV should only be carried out by qualified specialists.

2.5. Safety when connecting
2.5.1. Power supply
−Even when deactivated, some of the device components are live. To disconnect the
power to your Smart TV or to completely isolate the device from voltage sources, dis-
connect 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 220 to 240 V~ 50 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 emergency.
−To disconnect the power supply from your TV, pull the plug from the socket.
−For additional safety, we recommend using a surge protection device to protect your
Smart TV against damage due to voltage spikes or lightening strike from the power
supply.
−Position the cables so that no one can tread on them or trip over them.
−Do not place any objects on the cables as they may be damaged.
−Never touch the plug with wet hands.
−Always hold the housing and never pull on the cable when removing the plug from
the socket.
−Please note that the TV set continues to use power when in standby mode (see also
the relevant standby consumption in the “Product data sheet” section on page 76).
If the device switches off and restarts due to electrical discharge while in USB mode
(media player), optional HbbTV mode or optional LAN/WLAN mode (media player/
portal), it may not be able to independently restore the last operating mode. Please
start the respective media or applications again.
The last user settings entered may not be restored following an electrical discharge
that causes the TV to switch off because these settings are only saved 5 minutes af-
ter switching channels.
All multimedia devices that can be connected to the corresponding connections of
the TV must comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
