Some features may not be available on the model you purchased. Refer to the feature table provided with this manual to find out the main features of the relevant model. Optional functions are indicated by the following symbol: The model number of your TV set is on a label at the back of the set and on the cover of this manual. In the interest of improving the quality of our products, we reserve the right to modify their features.The information in this manual is, therefore, subject to change and does not represent any kind of contract. This symbol means that your inoperative electronic appliance must be collected separately and not mixed with the household waste.The European Union has implemented a specific collection and recycling system for which producers are responsible. This appliance has been designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components that can be recycled and reused. Electrical and electronic appliances are liable to contain parts that are necessary in order for the system to work properly but which can become a health and environmental hazard if they are not handled or disposed of in the proper way. Consequently, please do not throw out your inoperative appliance with the household waste. If you are the owner of the appliance, you must deposit it at the appropriate local collection point or leave it with the vendor when buying a new appliance. - If you are a professional user, please follow your supplier's instructions. - If the appliance is rented to you or left in your care, please contact your service provider. Help us protect the environment in which we live! This publication is printed on recycled paper. 1 IFC230_EN 3/01/06 11:19 Page 2 Getting started Important information Safety Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your set.This TV set is a class 1 appliance. It must be connected to an electrical wall socket with an earth. LCD TV The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects. The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.This does not affect the performance of your product. EN The TV set's components are sensitive to heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation. Install the appliance away from any source of heat (fireplace, ...) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields. Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV set outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water. Do not place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle, etc.) on or near the set. Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate before switching the TV set on again. 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. Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke.You must never, under any circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk of an electric shock in doing so. Before setting up your television set, make sure that the surface you want to put the set on can support its weight (see the list of specifications provided with the booklet). Don't place the set on an unstable surface (e.g. moving shelf, very edge of a unit) and make sure that the front of the television set does not overhang the surface it is sitting on. Plasma TV In order to ensure long performance of your set and reduce the risk of screen burning, please observe the following precautions. - Do not display for lengthy periods of time still images (still computer and video game images, logos, pictures, text) or images in formats which do not fill the entire screen; - Use a screen saver when using a computer; - When displaying tables, graphics, etc.: - decrease the contrast and brightness of the picture as much as possible, - display pictures with many colours and grading of colours (photographs), - adjust contrast to obtain the least noticeable transition between dark and light areas (white characters on a black background). Screen burns are not covered by the warranty. The plasma panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.This does not affect the performance of your product. Hanging the TV set on the wall Warning:This operation requires two people. THOMSON disclaims any liability for damages caused by the TV set being installed inappropriately. Please observe the following safety instructions to make sure that the TV set is hung on the wall safely. Check that the wall can support the weight of the TV set and wall mount. Follow the fitting instructions supplied with the wall mount. Hang the TV set on a vertical wall. Use screws that are suitable for the material the wall is made of. Arrange the TV set's connection cables so that they don't pose a risk of anyone falling over them. In addition, all the other safety instructions concerning the use of our TV sets remain completely valid Care Use a glass-cleaning product to clean the screen and a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the rest of the set. Important: Using strong detergents, alcohol-based and abrasive products may damage the screen. Dust the vents at the back and sides regularly. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage the TV set. If an object or liquid enters inside the appliance, unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorised engineer. Never open the appliance yourself since this may put you at risk or damage the appliance. THOMSON disclaims any liability if the TV set is not used in accordance with this manual. 2 IFC230_EN 3/01/06 11:19 Page 3 Getting started Switching on Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and the remote control before going on to following pages describing how to use the remote control and the channel set-up procedure. 1. Insert two LR06 or AA batteries in the remote control. Precautions on using batteries: - Only use the battery types specified. - Make sure you use the correct polarity. - Do not mix new and used batteries. - Do not use rechargeable batteries. - Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, throw them in a fire, recharge them or try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode. - Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period of time (several weeks).
