Safety Pre cautions
IMPORTA NT SAFETY
INFOR MATION ON OPERATING
YOUR TV
Do’s and Don’ts
DO’s
This Television has been designed and manu-
fact u r e d to meet intern ationa l safet y sta nd ards,
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 consult your dealer if you are in any doubt
about installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.
This TV is supplied with a fitted mains plug.
This plug must not be cut off as it may contain
a special radio interference filter, the removal
of which could lead to impaired performance.
If you wish to extend the lead, obtain an appro-
priate safety approved extension lead or con-
sult your dealer .
-7-
Observe the manufacturers instructions when
connecting extension leads to the TV. Check
the fuse rating on the new plug, this should be
fitted with a 5 Amp fuse which conforms to ei-
ther ASTA or BSI (BS1 362) approvals, these
are easily identifiable by either the
or
symbols. If you are in any doubt about the in-
stallation of an extension lead, please consult
a competent electrician.

a stand-by mode. Switch off using the switch
on the equipment and make sure your family
kno w how to do thi s. Special a rrange ments
