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.
Leave more than 10cm clearance around the television
to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent
overheating and possible damage to the television.
Dusty places should also be avoided.
Damage may occur if the television is left in direct
sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to
extremely high temperatures or humidity. Place in a
location where the temperature remains between 5°C
(41°F) min. and 35°C (94°F) max.
The mains supply required for this equipment is 220-
240v AC 50/60Hz. 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 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.
