Safety Precautions
This equipment has been designed and manufactured
to meet international safety standards, but like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the
best results and for safety to be assured. Please read
the points below for your own safety. They are of a
general nature and are intended to help with all
electronic consumer products. Some points may not
apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Leave more than 10cm clearance around the
television to allow adequate ventilation. This will
prevent overheating and possible damage to the
television. Dusty places should also be avoided.
Damage may occur if the television is left in direct
sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to
extremely high temperatures or humidity. Place in a
location where the temperature remains between 5°C
(41°F) min. and 35°C (94°F) max.
The mains supply required for this equipment is 220-
240v AC 50/60Hz. Never connect to a DC supply or
any other power source. DO ensure that the television
is not standing on the mains lead. Use only the
supplied lead.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.
The plug incorporates a special Radio Interference
Filter, the removal of which will impair its
performance.
In the UK, the fuse fitted in the plug is approved by
ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It should only be replaced by
a correctly rated and approved type and the fuse
cover must be refitted.
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONSULT A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN.
DO
read the operating instructions before you
attempt to use the equipment.
DO
ensure that all electrical connections (including
the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and
in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before
making or changing connections.
DO
consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO
be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.
DO NOT
obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause
damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DO NOT
allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DO NOT
place hot objects or naked flame sources,
such as lighted candles or nightlights, on or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and
lead to fires.
DO NOT
use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs
with wood screws. To ensure complete safety, always
fit the manufacturers’ approved stand, bracket or legs
with the fixings provided according to the
instructions.
DO NOT
leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off by withdrawing the plug, and make
sure your family knows how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for people with
disabilities.
DO NOT
continue to operate the equipment if you
are in any doubt about it working normally, or it is
damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the
mains plug and consult your dealer.
WARNING
– excessive sound pressure from
earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
ABOVE ALL – NEVER let anyone, especially children,
push or hit the screen, push anything into holes,
slots or any other openings in the case.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe than
sorry.
