Always keep these instructions at hand, close to your LCD TV. In the event that you transfer ownership of this LCD TV, please provide these instructions to the new owner.

HD ready

- Your LCD-TV is equipped with the 'HD ready' feature. This means that it can transmit high resolution television programmes (HDTV) in principle. It is the prerequisite that an HDTV signal is sent to the LCD TV by an external set-top box (HD-STB).

Service

Purpose of use

• This device serves to receive and transmit television channels. The different connection possibilities (receiver, DVD player, DVD recorder and VCR, etc.) will enable an additional expansion of the sources of reception and transmission (Receiver, DVD-Player, DVD-Recorder, Videorecorder etc.).
  • This device is only suitable for using in dry, internal rooms.
• This device is intended for personal use only. It not intended for commercial use in a heavy industry environment. Use under extreme environmental conditions can result in damage to your device.

Included in the box

• LCD Television
• Connection cable
• Remote control incl. 2 batteries type R03 (AAA) 1,5V
• Documentation

Note!

Use only the supplied power cord.

Safety instruction

Operating Safety

• Do not allow children to play unattended on electrical equipment. Children may not always correctly recognize danger.
• Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children. The danger of suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.
• Never open the housing of the TFT display (electric shock, short-circuit and the danger of fire)!
• Do not insert any objects through the slots and openings into the inside of the TFT (electrical shock, short-circuit and the danger of fire)!
• Slots and openings in the TFT display are for ventilation purpose. Do not cover these openings, as otherwise this may lead to overheating (overheating, danger of fire)!
• The remote control has a class 1m infrared diode. Do not examine the LED with optical instruments!
• Never exert pressure on the display. This could damage the display.
• An injury hazard exists when the display breaks. Wear protective gloves to pack the broken parts and send them into your service center for proper disposal. Then wash your hands with soap, because it is possible for chemicals to escape.
• Do not touch the display with your fingers or with sharp objects to avoid damage.

Please proceed as outlined in the service center section:

- if the AC cable overheats or is damaged

- if liquid has gotten into the display

- if the device does not work properly

- if the device is dropped or the housing damaged

Point of use

- In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time.

We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly fallen below.

- Keep your LCD TV and all units connected to it away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or damage to the LCD TV.

- Do not operate your device in the open air, because external influences, such as rain, snow, etc. could damage the device.

- Do not subject the device to drops or splashes of water and do not place any vessels filled with water, such as vases, on the device. Water penetrating the device can impair its electrical safety.

- Do not place any open sources of fire (candles or similar objects) on the device.

- Pay attention to sufficiently large clearances in the wall cupboard. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm around the device for sufficient ventilation.

- Place and operate all units on a stable, level and vibration-free surface in order to avoid the LCD TV from falling.

- Avoid dazzle, reflections, extreme light/dark contrast in order to save your eyes and ensure a pleasant, ergonometric work station.

- The optimum viewing distance is approx. 3-5 times the screen diagonal.

- Furniture today is coated with a wide variety of paints, varnishes and plastic finishes, and treated with a broad spectrum of cleaning and polishing products. As a result there is always a slight possibility that some of these substances may contain ingredients that will attack and soften the rubber feet on the bottom of the device. You may wish to place a non-slip mat under the device.

Repair

- Leave all repairs of your LCD TV to authorized and qualified personnel only.

- Should a repair be necessary, please contact one of our authorized service center only.

Intended Environment

• The device can be operated at an ambient temperatures of between +41°F and +95°F (5°C to 35°C).
• Provide an interval of at least one meter from high-frequency and magnetic sources of interference (television sets, loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and data loss.
• After transporting your LCD TV please wait until it has assumed the ambient temperature before connecting and switching it on. Extremely high variations in the temperature or humidity may result in condensation forming on the inside of the LCD TV which could cause an electrical short-circuit.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and the aerial cable from the aerial socket during a thunderstorm or if the television will not be used for a longer period.

Power Supply

Please pay attention: Pats of the device are still live, even if the mains switch is switched off. Pull the mains plug out of the socket, to interrupt the power supply to your LCD TV or to release the device from voltage completely.

• Operate your TFT display mains (power supply) only on grounded sockets with 230 V \~ 50 Hz.
• For additional safety we recommend use of an excessive voltage protection device to protect your LCD TV from damage resulting from voltage surges or lightning.
  • To interrupt the display from mains (power supply) disconnect the plug from the socket.
• The power socket must be in the vicinity of your LCD TV and within reach of the power cables.
• You should lay the TFT Display cables in a manner that no one can trip or step on it.
  • To avoid damage of cable do not place any objects or furniture on the cable.

Pixel errors with LCD TVs

Individual pixels or groups of them can fail in rare cases, in spite of the most up-to-date manufacture, because of the highly complex technology.

Active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixel,(WXGA) which are in turn composed of three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), contain about 3.1 million addressable transistors. Because of this very high number of transistors and their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or incorrectly addressed pixels or sub-pixels may occur.

Description Acceptable Number
Bright Sub Pixel	1 Sub-pixel Max. 2
	Two lying next to each other (horizontally/vertically)	0
Distance	Minimum distance between light and dark sub-pixels	Min. 10 mm
Dark Sub Pixel	Individual	Max.
	Two lying next to each other Max. 2
Distance	Minimum distance between light and dark sub-pixels	Min. 10 mm
Total number of bright and dark sub pixel		Max. 7

The Table describes the maximum number of pixel faults that are permitted to arise on the screen, without involving a guarantee case. Under certain circumstances, a guarantee case will be present if the number of faults given above is exceeded in one category.
