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.

DON'T

remove any fixed 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 filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

DON’T

place hot objects or naked flame sources,

such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and
lead to fires.

DON'T

use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs

with wood screws. To ensure complete safety,
always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or
legs with the fixings provided according to the
instructions.

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 specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a
standby 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

continue to operate the equipment if you

are in any doubt about it working normally, or 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 openings 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.

TO FULLY DISCONNECT THE TV, SWITCH OFF
THE MAINS SOCKET AND REMOVE THE
POWER PLUG.

Leave at least 10cm clearance around the television
to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent
overheating and possible damage to the TV. Dusty
places should also be avoided.

Damage may occur if the TV is left in direct sunlight
or near a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely
high temperatures or humidity, or locations where the
temperature is likely to fall below 5°C (41°F).

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 TV is
not standing on the mains lead. DO NOT cut off
the mains plug from this equipment, this
incorporates a special Radio Interference Filter, the
removal of which will impair its performance. 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 approved type and the fuse
cover must be refitted. 
IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN.

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 pieces of equipment) are

properly made and in accordance with the

manufacturers’ 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.
