Any other use is expressly prohibited. E IN VBS IDEO The ideal viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal (approx. 5.50 m). External light falling on the screen impairs picture quality. Ensure there is enough clearance, for example when installing in an alcove. 10 cm 20 cm 10 cm The device 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 splashing water. Do not expose the device to any moisture. The device is not designed for areas of very high humidity (for example the tropics). The air humidity should not be more than 85%. Do not place any vessels such as vases on the device. These may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk. Do not lay any objects (newspapers, for example) on the device. Do not use the device close to heating units or in direct sunlight. This will impair cooling. Heat build-up can be dangerous and diminishes the working life of the set. Have the inside of the set cleaned from time to time. Ask your specialist dealer. Do not open the device under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling. Only use genuine GRUNDIG connection cables, accessories and replacement parts. Ensure that the mains cable is not damaged. Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm. !S E! ERVIC Only clean the plasma screen with a chamois leather and commercially available glass cleaner. Only clean the housing of the plasma screen with a damp, soft cloth and plain water. The plasma screen is equipped with a glass plate. If the device is subjected to excessive strain, for example through vibration, bending or heat shocks the glass plate can break. Do not hit or put pressure on the glass plate. Should the glass plate be damaged, pull out the mains plug immediately. SAT TV R 4 SET-UP AND SAFETY _________________________________________________________________ This highly digitalised device offers optimum picture and sound quality. The essential requirements are a perfectly functioning antenna system and a high-quality antenna cable. For this reason, avoid cable loops near the device. Plasma screens operate using florescent materials. This technology can suffer sticking effects under certain operating conditions. These include: ­ Prolonged display of a freeze-frame ­ Constant display of the same background ­ Use of a picture format (such as 4:3) which does not fill the screen. Once these sticking effects occur, they cannot normally be reversed. To avoid sticking effects please note: ­ During the first 100 operating hours, ensure that the television displays mostly moving pictures or frequently changing stills which fill the screen ­ Use a picture format which fills the screen (16:9) ­ Always activate the screensaver when using a PC ­ Decrease the contrast and brightness as much as possible ­ Switch off the device when it is not in use If a freeze-frame is on the plasma screen for a very long time (several hours), it is possible that this will be visible as a ghosting effect for some time when you switch to another channel. However, after a certain amount of time this ghosting disappears again. This is caused by a type of memory effect. In order to prevent this effect, we recommend activating the screen saver when using a PC. After a lengthy period without use (longer than one year) a temporary colour discrepancy is possible in some circumstances. This effect is normal for plasma screens. After a while these colour discrepancies disappear again. A plasma screen is made up of around 1.2 million colour pixels. Within the industrial standard tolerance, a very small number of pixels (0.001%) can be defective. This is not regarded as a device defect within the warranty. The plasma screen functions with inert gases and air pressure. At 2000 m above sea-level or higher, the picture can become unstable and the picture quality is reduced. However, when the device is returned to below 2000 m above sea level, this effect disappears and the device functions perfectly. 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 devices and the antenna. ENGLISH 5 SET-UP AND SAFETY ____________________________________ Wall mounting The plasma television may only be fixed to vertical walls. The wall surface must be strong enough to bear the weight. Use fastening equipment suitable for the weight of the device. (PlanaVision 42: approx. 35 kg, PlanaVision 50: approx. 53 kg). For wooden or cavity walls, use suitable wall plugs and screws. 1 Place the plasma screen on a level surface (such as a table), and protect the screen from scratches. 2 Undo the screws of the device feet (A) using the torx driver supplied and take off the feet (B). Then tighten the screws again. Note Do no remove the spacers attached to the back of the device at the factory (they protect against overheating).
