Technical data

For your safety

• Locate the TV on a firm, flat and stable surface (not on

carpeting).

• Do not lift the TV set by the frame around the picture

tube.

• Allow space for air to pass freely through ventilation

holes on the top, sides and bottom of the TV.

• Make sure the TV is at room temperature before

switching it on.

• Check that your mains electricity supply is suitable for

the TV, 210-240V at 50Hz.

• Unplug the receiver from the wall sockets during

thunderstorms or when the TV will not be used for a

long time.

• This TV is for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain

or excessive moisture.

• Before cleaning your TV, switch it off and unplug it

from the wall sockets. Use a soft damp cloth and a mild

solution of washing-up liquid to clean the cabinet and

screen.

• Do not use petrol, thinners, alcohol, wax remover or

other solvents on the TV.

• Do not place anything on top of the TV.

• Do not place anything with liquid in it above or near the

TV - it could spill and cause electric shock or damage to

the TV.

• Do not allow any objects, such as hairpins or coins, to

get inside the TV.

• If liquid is spilt, or any objects get inside the TV,

disconnect it from the wall socket and have it checked

by authorised service personnel.

• Do not subject the mains lead to sharp bends, heat or

chemicals. If the mains lead is damaged, disconnect it

from the wall socket and have it checked by authorised

service personnel.

user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to

authorised service personnel.

• Some radio transmitters like GSM-phones can cause a

malfunction. Example: The receiver does not respond
