Safety Precautions
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured. Please
read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with all electronic
consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation
Leave at least 10cm clearance around the televi-
sion to allow adequate ventilation. This will pre-
vent overheating and possible damage to the
television. Dusty places should also be avoided.
Heat Damage
Damage may occur if the television is left in di-
rect sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places sub-
ject to extremely high temperatures or humidity,
or locations where the temperature is likely to fall
below 5°C (41°F).
Mains Supply
The mains supply required for this equipment is
230V AC 50Hz. Never connect to a DC supply
or any other power source. DO ensure that the
television is not standing on the mains lead. DO
NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment,
this incorporates a special Radio Interference Fil-
ter, the removal of which will impair its perfor-
mance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug is
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It should
only be replaced by a correctly rated and ap-
proved type and the fuse cover must be refit-
ted. This set requires an earthed supply. IF IN
