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.
