This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety stand-
ards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best
results and safety is to be assured. So, please read the points below for your own safety.
They are of a general nature, intended to help you with all your electronic consumer prod-
ucts and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.

**************

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 the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance
with the manufacturer's 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.

**************

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.

complete safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings pro-
vided according to the instructions.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from
the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
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 stand-by mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure that 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 if it is damaged in any way -switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult
your dealer.
