the TV stand. This could result in bits of the material sticking to the furniture surface, which are difficult to remove, if not impossible.

• The screen of your TV has been produced under top quality conditions and was checked in detail for faulty pixels several times. Due to the technological properties of the manufacturing process, it is not possible to eliminate the existence of a small number of faulty points on the screen (even with maximum care while in production).

Important information regarding use of video games, computers, captions and other fixed image displays.

• The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD screen (this is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "burnout to the screen"). This shadow image is then perma

nently visible on the screen in the background. It is irreversible damage. You can avoid such a damage by following instructions below:

• Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not display the fixed image for a long period of time. Avoid displaying of:

» Teletext time and charts,
TV/DVD menu, e.g. DVD contents,
In the "Pause" mode (hold): Do not use this mode for a long time, e.g. while watching a DVD or a video.
» Turn off the appliance if you are not using it.

Batteries

• CAUTION: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and do not place them on locations where the temperature might increase quickly, e.g. near the fire or on the direct sunshine.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive radiant heat, do not throw them into the fire, do not disassemble them and do not try to recharge un-rechargeable batteries. They could leak or explode. Never use different batteries together or mix new and old ones. Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way. Most of the EU countries regulate the disposal of batteries by law.
