Safety instructions, warnings and notes
GB 4 FTV1.9EE2.
2. Safety instructions, warnings and notes
2.1 Safety instructions h
hh
h
It is not allowed to operate the FTV-set without glass plate. One
function of this glass plate is to absorb Infrared Radiation.
Without this glass plate the level of Infrared Radiation produced
by the plasma display could damage your eyes.
1. Safety regulations require that during a repair:
– the set should be connected to the mains via an
isolating transformer ( in this particular case a
transformer of ≥800 VA);
– safety components, indicated by the symbol h, should
be replaced by components identical to the original
ones;
2. Safety regulations require that after a repair the set must
be returned in its original condition. In particular attention
should be paid to the following points.
– Note: The wire trees should be routed correctly and
fixed with the mounted cable clamps.
– The insulation of the mains lead should be checked for
external damage.
– The electrical DC resistance between the mains plug
and the secondary side should be checked (only for
sets that have a mains isolated power supply). This
check can be done as follows:
• unplug the mains cord and connect a wire between
the two pins of the mains plug;
• set the mains switch to the on position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!);
• measure the resistance value between the pins of
the mains plug and the metal shielding of the tuner
or the aerial connection on the set. The reading
should be between 4.5 MΩand 12 MΩ;
• switch off the TV and remove the wire between the
two pins of the mains plug.
– The cabinet should be checked for defects to avoid
touching of any inner parts by the customer.
2.2 Warnings w

It is not allowed to operate the FTV-set without glass plate. One
function of this glass plate is to absorb Infrared Radiation.
Without this glass plate the level of Infrared Radiation produced
by the plasma display could damage your eyes.
1. ESD
All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD w). Careless handling during
repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing, make sure
that you are connected with the same potential as the mass of
the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components and
tools also at this same potential.
1. Available ESD protection equipment:
– complete kit ESD3 (combining all 6 prior products -
small table mat) 4822 310 10671
– wristband tester 4822 344 13999
2. Never replace modules or other components while the unit
is switched on.
3. When making settings, use plastic rather than metal tools.
This will prevent any short circuits and the danger of a
circuit becoming unstable.
2.3 Notes
1. With DST no failures (error-codes) can be read, when the
set is in Service-mode.
2. If DST reacts with 'error 2', there is no communication
between set and DST. Note that IR-transmitter LED is
positioned at right side of IR-receiver eye of the E-box.
Take into account that receiver-LED on DST is positioned
not in the middle but at the left side. Point corresponding
LED's to each other. In case the amount of Infrared
produced by the screen pollutes the communication, the
set can be set in Standby-mode. Then still the error-
messages can be retrieved.

Glossary
100 Hz 100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) – a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz). At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye. Automatic Channel Installation (ACI) Automatically installs all TV channels in the same order as offered by your cable company, provided of course that the data is transmitted. It also automatically includes programme number and programme name. With ACI, channel installation is fully automatic, simple and fast.

Tips & Index
Poor Picture Have you selected the correct TV system? Is your monitor or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc. ? Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the outside aerial. Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, p. 6. Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment ? Press the skey. Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated a S-VHS camera or camcorder connected to the front side of your receiver and another peripheral is connected to EXT1 or EXT2 at the same
time. In this case switch off one of the other peripherals. No picture or no sound Are the supplied cables connected properly? (The aerial cable to the monitor, the other aerial to your VCR, the VGA cables to the display, the power cables.) Has the child lock (p. 14) been switched off ? Is your PC switched on ? Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the monitor lights up green, this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your VGA-source to a correct mode. In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.
Control of peripheral equipment The infrared signals of the screen may influence the reception sensibility of other peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries of the remote control or change position of other equipment. E.g. keep away a wireless headphone from within a radius of 1.5 m. Remote control If your monitor no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be exhausted. You can still use the LOCAL MENU keys
at the front of your receiver. Menu Have you selected the wrong menu ? Press the same key again to exit from the menu. No stable or not synchronised VGA picture Check if you have selected the correct VGA mode in your PC (640x480, 640x400, 640x350 MAC II, SVGA, XGA). If your problem is not solved: Switch both your monitor and your receiver off and then on again. Never attempt to repair a defective monitor yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.
