The button at the side of the TV set can be used to switch it on and put it into standby mode. If you are not going to be watching the TV for a lengthy period of time, switch it off completely by removing the plug from the mains power socket. During thunderstorms, we recommend that you disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected, if necessary.
