SET-UP AND SAFETY________________  
Setup and safety  
Please note the following information when setting up your TV.  
This TV is designed to display video and audio signals from multiple  
external devices, e.g. DVD player, external aerial, PC. Connection  
options are explained fully on page 9of this user guide.  
If the TV is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example if  
it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains  
supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you turn it on.  
The TV is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open,  
please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water  
splashes.  
Place the TV on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as  
newspapers on the TV or any cloth or similar articles underneath it.  
Do not place the TV close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this  
will impair cooling.  
Never open the TV casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims  
are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.  
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the TV, as  
they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.  
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the TV is  
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains.  
Always remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.  
To clean the TV, disconnect from the power supply then wipe all  
external surfaces with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use liquid  
or aerosol cleaners.  
This TV is designed to the highest technological and environmental  
standards. Only environmentally-friendly, high-quality materials have  
been used. The batteries included contain no mercury or cadmium.  
The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all  
the larger plastic parts have been labelled. This TV is designed so that  
it can be easily disassembled to aid servicing and recycling.  
Note:  
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on.  
Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it. Only plug  
the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external
