Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of  
the TV. Refer to qualified service personnel  
only.  
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.  
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the  
TV For ventilation, leave a space of at least  
10cm all around the set.  
Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft,  
lightly dampened cloth. Do not use any type  
of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring  
powder or solvent, such as alcohol or  
benzine, or antistatic spray. 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

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.  
Unplug the power lead before moving the TV.  
Avoid uneven surfaces, quick steps or  
excessive force. If the set has been dropped or

etc.  
Additional Safety Information  
•When moving the TV set two persons are needed. To prevent  
damage DO NOT push on the speaker grills on each side of the  
screen. Do not grasp the front panels to prevent these parts from  
breaking off. Support the bottom of the screen with one hand  
while grasping the top part with the other hand.  
• This TV set incorporates the latest high-precision LCD technology.  
Even though the highest standards are applied in manufacture it is  
still possible that a few black dots or bright points (red, green or  
blue) may be visible on the screen under certain picture conditions.  
It is not possible to remove them and this is not a fault condition.  
• The screen of this TV set has an anti-reflection screen coating. To  
avoid screen degradation, follow the advice given below:  
• To remove dust from the surface of the screen, wipe with the  
supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth.  
• Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, lightly dampened cloth.  
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring  
powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, or antistatic spray.  
As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.  
• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the  
surface with hard objects.  
•Do not block or cover the ventilation opening situated on the  
bottom rear of the left hand side of the TV set. For ventilation,  
leave a space of at least 10 cm from the wall.  
•If after transporting the TV set, 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 condensation has formed on the mirrors  
or lenses inside the TV set. Let the moisture evaporate before  
using the TV set.  
•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.
