Safety Precautions

Please read the following recommended safety pre-
cautions carefully for your safety.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ON
OPERATING YOUR TV

Do’s and Don’ts

DO’s

This Television has been designed and manu-
factured 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

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 spe-
cial radio interference filter, 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 TV.  Check the
fuse rating on the new plug, this should be fitted
with a 5 Amp fuse which conforms to either ASTA
or BSI (BS1 362) approvals, these are easily

identifiable by either the 

 or 

 symbols.  If

you are in any doubt about the installation of an
extension lead, please consult a competent
electrician.

DON’Ts

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.

DON’T 

place water filled vessels on top of T.V.

cabinets.

DON’T 

remove any fixed cover as this may ex-

pose dangerous voltages.

DON’T 

leave equipment switched on when it is

unattended unless it is specifically 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 your family know
how to do this.  Special arrangements may need
to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T 

use equipment such as personal stereos

or radios so that you are distracted from the re-
quirements of traffic safety.  It is illegal to watch
television whilst driving.

DON’T 

obstruct the ventilation of the equipment,

for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the
life of the equipment.

DON’T 

use makeshift stands and

 NEVER

 fix legs

or stands to the TV with any screws other than
those provided - to ensure complete safety al-
ways use the manufacturers approved stand
with the fixings provided.

DON’T 

allow electrical equipment to be exposed

to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL
• NEVER let anyone, especially children push

anything into holes, slots or any other open-
ing in the case - this could result in a fatal
electric shock.

NEVER guess or take chances with electrical

equipment of any kind - it is better to be safe
than sorry!

Surely connect

the ground wire.

PE Connection to mains

Be sure to ground the connection properly. Connect the ground terminal of TV with the
ground terminal provided at the power outlet using the enclosed power cord. If the
provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
