4Safety Information
Additional Safety Information
•After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly,
pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors
or lenses inside the projection TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.
•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed
down from the ceiling.
•Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for instance, when operating a video game or personal computer and viewing a
programme in 16:9 mode, may damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the picture contrast level low.
•Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.
Do not open the cabinet and the rear
cover of the TV. Refer to qualified
service personnel only.
To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not expose the TV to rain or
moisture.
For your own safety, do not touch
any part of the TV, power lead or
aerial lead during lightning storms.
Do not cover the
ventilation openings of the TV For
ventilation, leave a space of at least
10cm all around the set.
Never place the TV in hot, humid or
excessively dusty places. Do not
install the TV where it may be
exposed to mechanical vibrations.
To prevent fire, keep inflammable
objects or naked lights (eg candles)
away from the TV.
Clean the TV with a soft, lightly
dampened cloth. Do not use
benzine, thinner or any other
chemicals to clean the TV. Do not
scratch the TV screen. As a safety
precaution, unplug the TV before
cleaning it.
Pull out the power lead by the
plug. Do not pull on the power
lead itself.
Take care not to place heavy
objects on the power lead as this
could result in damage.
We recommend you wind any
excess lead around the holders
provided on the rear of the TV.
Place the TV on a secure stable
stand. Do not allow children to
climb on to it. Do not place the TV
on its side or face up.
Do not cover the ventilation
openings of the TV with items
such as curtains or newspapers
etc.
Never push objects of any kind into
the set as this could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the set. If any liquid or
solid object does fall through, do not
operate the TV. Have it checked
immediately by qualified personnel.
For environmental and safety
reasons, it is recommended that the
TV set is not left in standby mode
when not in use. Disconnect from
the mains.
This set is to operate on a 220-240V
AC supply only. Take care not to
connect too many appliances to the
same power socket as this could
result in fire or electric shock.
Unplug the power lead before
moving the TV. Avoid uneven
surfaces, quick steps or excessive
force. If the set has been dropped or
damaged, have it checked
immediately by qualified service
personnel.
