General information

The display you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements in this product segment and has been checked
for pixel defects. Despite taking the greatest care during production of these units, for technological reasons it cannot be
excluded absolutely that there are some pixels with defects.
We request your understanding for the fact that such defects, provided that they are within the limits specified by the
standard, cannot be considered to be as an appliance defect in the terms of the warranty.
On plasma displays the light emission reduces with increasing usage duration.
Plasma displays operate on the basis of phosphorus. With this technology screen burns can occur under certain
conditions. The following are examples of such operating conditions:
D long sustained display of a still image
D constant display of the same background
D use of a format that does not fill the display screen (e.g. 4:3) over a long period of time.
As a rule once screen burns have occurred they cannot be reversed.
To avoid or reduce screen burns please take heed of the following directions and recommendations:
D during the first 100 operating hours mainly moving images or frequently changing still images should be displayed
as a full screen
D use your display in full screen format (16:9)
D when using a PC display always activate the screen saver
D display moving images as far as possible
D always switch off the display when it is not being used
D reduce as much as possible the contrast and brightness
D wherever possible display images with lots of colours and colour shades.
Certain conditions can cause your display to hum. The humming generally comes from the mains voltage supply and can
occur through the connection of different earth conductors. You can provide a remedy by putting a so-called sheath current
filter between the incoming aerial lead and the aerial input socket on the display. Sheath current filters are available in the
retail trade in the form of a small inline plug.
For technical reasons the unit can generate noise inside itself. However, this must not exceed the value specified in the
appliance specification.
If your display is connected to an external aerial, the latter must be earthed as protection against electric shocks and static
charging. The earthing must comply with the valid regulations.
Faults
If the display is damaged, disconnect the mains plug from the plug receptacle.
Pull out the mains plug, if the unit gives off smoke, an unpleasant odour or any unusual noises. Proceed in the same way
if the display is no longer able to display an image after switching on or during operation. Do not attempt to continue
operating the display in this condition.
Under no circumstances should you open the unit yourself. Inside the display there are no parts that can be serviced or
replaced by you. Contact our service hotline or another suitable technical workshop.
Cleaning and care
Before installation, cleaning or care, switch off the unit and pull the mains plug out of the plug receptacle. Wait for several
minutes so that the capacitors in the unit can fully discharge, because the display generates a high voltage internally for
the gas discharge.
For cleaning use only a slightly moistened soft cloth. You should avoid chemical solvents and cleaning agents because
they can damage the surfaces.
Immediately pull out the mains plug, if foreign bodies such as water, other liquids, metal parts etc. get into the display. Never
attempt to reach into the unit with any objects or with your hands.
⇒ Danger of electric shock.
Batteries
Always take used batteries out of the remote control immediately, because they will leak and can therefore cause damage.
The enclosed batteries must not be charged or reactivated by any other means and must not be taken apart, thrown into
fire or short-circuited.
Do not put dead batteries in your household waste. The batteries must be disposed of at collection points provided for
this purpose.
