Safety Precautions

Please read the following recommended

safety precautions carefully for your

safety.

SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE

OF EQUIPMENT

This equipment has been designed and

manufactured to meet international safety

standards but, like any electrical equipment,

care must be taken if you are to obtain the best

results and safety is to be assured.

**************

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 the pieces of

equipment) are properly made and in accordance

with the manufacturer’s 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 route the mains lead so that it is not likely

to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected

to excessive wear and tear or heat.

**************

DON’T remove any ﬁ xed cover as this may

expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T 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.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be

exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects

ﬁ lled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed

on the equipment.

DON’T 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 ﬁ res.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER ﬁ x

legs with wood screws - to ensure

complete safety always ﬁ t the manufacturer’s

approved stand or legs with the ﬁ xings

provided according to the instructions.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos

or radios so that you are distracted from

the requirements of trafﬁ c safety. It is illegal to

watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as

such use can permanently damage your

hearing.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is

unattended unless it is speciﬁ cally stated

that it is designed for unattended operation or

has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the

switch on the equipment and make sure that

your family know how to do this. Special

arrangements may need to be made for inﬁ rm

or handicapped people.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you

are in any doubt about it working

normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch

off, withdraw the mains plug and consult

your dealer.

English - 5 -

ABOVE ALL

--- NEVER let anyone especially children

push anything into holes, slots or any other

opening in the case - this could result in a

fatal electrical shock;

--- NEVER guess or take chances with

electrical equipment of any kind

--- it is better to be safe than sorry!

*************

Power Source

The TV set should be operated only from a 220-

240 V AC, 50 Hz outlet.

Power Cord

Do not place the set, a piece of furniture, etc.

on the power cord (mains lead) or pinch the

cord. Handle the power cord by the plug. Do

not unplug the appliance by pulling from the

power cord and never touch the power cord with

wet hands as this could cause a short circuit or

electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or

tie it with other cords. The power cords should

be placed in such a way that they are not likely

to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can

cause ﬁ re or give you an electric shock. When it

is damaged and needs to be replaced, it should

be done by qualiﬁ ed personnel.

This TV receiver is supplied with a moulded

mains plug. The mains plug must not be cut off,

as it may contain a special radio interference

ﬁ lter, the removal of which could lead to impaired

performance. If you wish to extend the lead,

obtain an appropriate safety approved extension

lead or consult your dealer.

Observe the manufacturers instructions when

connecting extension leads to the set. Check

the fuse rating on the new plug; this should be

ﬁ tted with a 5 Amp fuse which conforms to either

ASTA or BSI (BS1362) approvals, these are

easily identifiable by either the

ASA

or

symbols. If you are in any doubt about the

installation of an extension lead, please consult

a competent electrician.

Warning

Do not leave your TV in standby or operating

mode when you leave your house.

Disconnecting the Device

The mains plug is used to disconnect TV set

from the mains and therefore it must remain

readily operable.

Moisture and Water

Do not use this device in

a humid and damp place

(avoid the bathroom, the

sink in the kitchen, and near

the washing machine). Do

not expose this device to

rain or water, as this may be

dangerous and do not place

objects filled with liquids,

such as vases, on top. Avoid

dripping or splashing.

If any solid object or liquid falls into the cabinet,

unplug the TV and have it checked by qualiﬁ ed

personnel before operating it any further.

Cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the

TV set from the wall outlet.

Do not use liquid or aerosol

cleaners. Use soft and dry

cloth.

Ventilation

The slots and openings on the

TV set are intended for ventilation and to ensure

reliable operation. To prevent overheating, these

openings must not be blocked or covered in

anyway.

Heat and Flames

The set should not be placed

near to open flames and

sources of intense heat such

as an electric heater. Ensure

that no open ﬂ ame sources,

such as lighted candles,

are placed on top of the TV.

Batteries should not be exposed to excessive

heat such as sunshine, ﬁ re or the like.

Lightning

In case of storm and lightning

or when going on holiday,

disconnect the power cord

from the wall outlet.
