2.4 Important instructions
Please observe the following instructions to avoid any safety hazards, prevent damage to

2.4.1 Safety
For your own protection you should read the safety precautions carefully before
using your new device. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by
inappropriate handling, or by non-compliance with the safety precautions.
Do not open the receiver housing under any circumstances!
Touching parts that conduct high voltages can be fatal!
Any necessary repairs to the device should only be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Only operate the device in a temperate climate.
Do not switch on the TV immediately after delivery or transportation in cold
weather; wait until it reaches room temperature.
Do not expose the device to dripping water or spray. If water gets into the unit,
immediately disconnect the mains plug and inform the service department.
Do not place the TV on a narrow shelf or on small cabinets; ensure a minimum
ventilation gap of 10cm around the unit.
The set has ventilation slits to allow heat to escape from the inside the set.
Do not cover the ventilation slits with objects such as newspapers, tablecloths etc.
Do not operate any sources of heat near the device that may also heat it up.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.
In thundery weather and when the set is not to be used for an extended period or
during absence, you should disconnect the mains and antenna plugs from the set.
Overvoltage can damage the TV.
In the event of an obvious fault with the TV, emanation of odor or smoke,
substantial malfunctions, damage to the power cable or housing or fluid ingress,
immediately unplug the power supply unit and contact the Service department.
If left for longer periods, the TV should be switched off. This extends the lifetime
of the screen and saves energy.
Never expose batteries to sources of heat, to fire or to mechanical stress and do
not attempt to open or change the shape of batteries.
