future reference.
• Retain the manual. If you pass the unit onto a third party make sure to include
this manual.
• Check that the voltage marked on the rating label matches your mains
voltage.
Damage
• Please inspect the unit for damage after unpacking.
• Do not continue to operate the unit 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.
Location of Unit
• The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and should not be subjected
to vibrations.
• Do not place the unit on sloped or unstable surfaces as the unit may fall off
or tip over.
• The mains socket must be located near the unit and should be easily
accessible.
• This unit is designed for indoor use only.
Temperature
• Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or cold. Place the unit well
away from heat sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
Naked Flames
• Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the top of or near the unit.
Moisture
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, do not expose
this unit to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, should be placed on the unit.
• If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause serious damage. Switch it off at
the mains immediately. Withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
Ventilation
• To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to overheating, ensure
that curtains and other materials do not obstruct the ventilation vents.
• Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in cabinet or in another
confined space. Ensure the unit is well ventilated.
• Make sure that there is a gap of at least 10 cm on both sides and a gap of 20
cm at the top.
• Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not
an all-inclusive list):
1. Black Bars: If black bars appear at the left/right or top/bottom of the
screen, it is recommended to change the format so that the picture fills
the entire screen.
2. TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays
- especially if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast
graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
3. Time Displays
4. Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long periods of time.
5. TV Menus
6. Pause Mode: Do not leave the screen in pause mode for long periods of
time, e.g. When watching videos.
• To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long periods of time,
reduce contrast and brightness when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will
never disappear completely.
Earphones
• Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may permanently
damage your hearing.
• Before putting on earphones, turn the volume down then put the earphones
on and slowly increase the volume until you reach a comfortable listening
level.
Standby
• The button on the remote control does not switch off the unit completely.
The unit will continue to draw electricity from the mains supply while
in standby. In the interests of safety and to avoid unnecessary energy
consumption, never leave the unit in standby while unattended for long
periods of time, e.g. overnight, while on holiday or while out of the house.
Switch it off and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
Batteries
• Batteries used in the remote control for this unit are easily swallowed by

• Please dispose of batteries correctly by following the guidance in this manual.
Supervision
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit
and the remote control.

disconnecting other devices or moving the unit.
• Unplug the unit from the mains socket during a lightning storm.
Mains Cable
• Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting on top of the mains cable,
as the weight of the unit may damage the mains cable and create a safety
hazard.
• If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Interference
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic
interference. If you do, it may adversely affect the operating performance of
the unit, and cause a distorted picture or sound.
Optimum viewing
• View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It is recommended to
watch the unit from a distance
3-7 times that of the screen height.
LCD screen
• The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. However,
some tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue or green in colour)
may constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are generated in the
manufacturing process and are normal.
Screen Burn
• A characteristic of Plasma and LCD TV Panels is that displaying the same
image for a long time may cause a permanent after-image to remain on the
screen. This is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on the unit will be
constantly moving and fill the screen.
