Safety instructions

1.1 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

• If the plug [P] or power lead is damaged or in any other way not sound, do not connect or switch the television on. Contact your service centre to get the lead replaced.Telephone numbers are usually given on your purchase receipt.

• If you cut off the mains plug, for example to fit a different type, please destroy the old plug as it would be dangerous if inserted into a live power outlet. Follow the wiring instructions supplied with the new plug. Fit a 5 amp fuse in the plug or fuse box.

•Never use a moulded plug without the fuse cover fitted.If the cover is lost, you must replace the plug.

• This product is only designed for household or similar general use.Any other use may invalidate the guarantee and could be dangerous.

• High voltage runs through your television set.To avoid electrical discharges never remove the rear cover of the set and make sure it is far away from steam, moisture and possible sprays of water. Any maintenance, repair work or adjustments that need doing inside the set must be done only by qualified personnel. In addition, if the television is not working as it should, we advise you switch it off immediately, take the plug [P] out of the socket and call your service centre.

• Never let children or anyone else push objects into the television and never let them play with the remote control batteries.

• Never let children or anyone else play with the packaging materials: bags, sheets of plastic, cardboard etc., as they can be the cause of suffocation and injury.

• Never attempt to recharge, reheat or throw on the fire the remote control batteries. In such a case there could be a small explosion.

• If there is a thunderstorm or if you’re not going to watch the television for a long time, we advise taking the plug [P] out of the mains and disconnecting the aerial plug [Q].

• If there is an accidental overload of the electricity the television switches off automatically, going in the standby mode.To switch it back on, first switch the television off completely by pressing the main switch [A] on the control panel, press this same switch again [A] followed by a numerical key on the remote [21] that corresponds to the programme (station) wanted.

• The television set has an electronic circuit by means of which it is possible to reduce the consumption of electricity when the set is off and in stand by. However, during the night, to save more energy, we suggest turning it off completely by pressing the main switch [A] on the control panel. Switching off not only saves electricity. Switching back on an hour or more after switching off activates the picture tube demagnetising circuit, which prevents unwanted blotches of colour appearing on the screen.

1.2 - PRECAUTIONS FOR THE REMOTE

• To ensure your remote works properly you should aim the front of it in the direction of the infrared sensor [F] on the television control panel, making sure there are no obstacles in its path.

• If the remote isn’t going to be used for some time (a few weeks) remember to take the batteries out from their compartment at the back.

• When the two batteries are flat, never change just one of them because the flat one left in will take power from the new one which consequently will not last long.

• Change the batteries when the remote fails to work properly, that is, when its range fails.

1.3 - CLEANING THE TELEVISION

• Clean the television with a soft cloth. Do not use products containing abrasive substances, alcohol or solvents.

• To clean the television switch it off via the main switch [A] on the control panel and do not let any cleaning liquids drip into the aeration slits.

1.4 - ECOLOGICAL STANDARDS

• The packaging materials comply with current environmental laws.If you have no problem storing the

ENGLISH - 7

ENGLISH - 8

packaging we suggest keeping it at least for the guarantee period. Use local recycling facilities when you come to dispose of it.

• If the remote batteries are not the ecological type (that is “green”), when they are flat treat them as polluting waste. Contact your local council or waste disposal site if you need advice. Please do not throw them away with ordinary household rubbish. To protect the environment it is advisable to use mercury-free batteries.

1.5 - PLACING THE TELEVISION

• To have a well contrasted picture, place your television where lamp or sun light cannot reflect on the screen glass.

• Place the set in a well ventilated place.Always keep the aeration slits on the rear cover free as they are designed to keep the electronic components inside the set cool. Do not cover these slits with newspapers, serviettes, curtains etc., and leave enough room around the television (at least 5 cm.) especially if it is standing on a shelf or inside a cabinet.

• The television must not be too near heat sources (stoves, radiators, etc.) or magnetic source like, for instance, speakers, mobile phones, etc.,). The latter in particular can cause interference and disturb vision. In this case we suggest switching the television off with the main switch [A] on the control panel, move the interfering object away and then switch the television back on.

• Do not put candles or other objects with bare flames on top of the television because if the candle flame accidentally comes into contact with the plastic cabinet it will set it on fire!

• Do not put vases or receptacles full of water (or other liquids) on top of the television because if they accidentally tip over the liquid, pouring through the ventilation slots, can cause serious damage, fire or electric shock.

– PART TWO –

Switching on and preliminary operations

In ‘Part One’ we listed a few rules and suggestions for your own benefit, that you will realise are useful and appropriate over time.In this ‘Part Two’ we are going to explain some basic functions that will let you switch on and watch your new television immediately.

2.1 - CONNECTING THE TELEVISION… to the electricity mains

Put the television plug [P] in the socket which should be 230 V~, 50 Hz.

2.2 - CONNECTING THE TELEVISION… to the aerial

Plug the cable of your aerial [Q] into the aer ial socket [M] on the rear cover of the television.

2.3 - PREPARING YOUR REMOTE FOR USE

You will need two 1.5V batteries for your remote.When inserting the batteries into the compartment on the back of the remote, take care to get polarity correct by observing the guide markings. Also, to ensure the remote works properly, always aim the front of it towards the television where the infrared ray signal receiver is positioned [F].

2.4 - SWITCHING THE TELEVISION ON… to standby

Press the main switch [A] on the control panel. The stand-by indicator [B] lights up to show the television is on stand-by.

2.5 - SWITCHING THE TELEVISION ON

With the television on standby, press a key on the numerical keypad. Sometimes you will see the screen light up for a moment as the automatic picture tube drive adjustment circuit checks the tube. The picture appears a few seconds later, probably only showing random luminous dots. In technical terms this is called ‘snow effect’ and appears when there is no channel tuned in on the television.
