Extra information
The following things are normal, so don’t worry
about them.
When you touch the screen surface there may be
some faint crackling noises and the hairs on your skin
may stand on end. This is caused by a little static
electricity and is quite harmless.
A bright object with a lot of fine detail may show
coloured bands. This is caused by the limitations in
the broadcast system, not a fault in the television.
Mains suppl y
This television is designed to run from a 220 - 240Volt, 50Hz AC mains supply only. If you plug it into another
power source, it may damage it. Always check that the rating label on the back cover of the television says
220 - 240V AC (~), 50Hz before you plug it in.
Mains plug
We have fitted this television with a standard UK moulded mains plug. If a standard plug is not suitable for your
mains socket, you can buy a special adapter locally.
If the moulded plug is cut off, remove the fuse from the plug and get rid of it safely. If you put it into a 13A
socket, it would be dangerous.
Never use the moulded plug without the fuse cover fitted. If the cover is lost, you must replace the plug.
Mains plug wiring
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this television may not match the coloured markings of the mains
plug terminals. You can identify the correct terminals as follows.
The wire that is coloured brown is
connected to the terminal that is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
The wire that is coloured blue is
connected to the terminal that is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
You do not connect anything to the earth terminal
which is marked E or “
z
” or coloured green
or green and yellow.
The cord clamp
You must make sure the lead is firmly secured under the cord clamp.
Mains fuse
If you use a 13 amp (BS 1363 type) plug, you must have a 5 amp (BS1362 type) fuse fitted. If you use any other
type of plug or connection, you must fit a 5 amp fuse in the mains plug or adapter, or at the household’s main
fuse box feeding the outlet to which this television is connected.
Symbols
This symbol means that the television is double insulated and you do not need an earth
connection.
This symbol means that this television keeps to the European safety and electrical interference
