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 ﬂ ame 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 fit 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.

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. Ensure that you select the correct

voltage setting for your convenience.

Power Cord

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

power cord (mains lead) or pinch the cord. Handle the

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 identiﬁ able by

either the

ASA

or symbols. If you are in any doubt

about the installation of an extension lead, please

consult a competent electrician.

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 ﬁ lled with liquids,

such as ﬂ ower vases, on top. Avoid from

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.
