Notes on Safety and Setting Up

When setting up your television, select a location where as
little light as possible falls on the screen.

The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal width of
the screen.

If the television is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained.

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the back.

Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your television,
and can also be dangerous.

Never set up speakers next to the unit.

When setting up and using this unit, please make sure that
the mains connection wire is free and not jammed in order to
avoid damage.

Never place the television near heat sources.
Even if your television is switched off, it can still be damaged
by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial cables.
For this reason, you should always disconnect your television
from the mains and the aerial cable during thunderstorms.

Never expose the unit to moisture.
Do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation openings on
the back.
Caution! High voltage!

Connecting the Unit

Connecting the unit to the aerial

Plug the aerial cable into the aerial socket É on the unit.

Connecting the unit to the mains

Plug the mains cable into the wall socket.

Connecting and Setting Up

Inserting Batteries into the Remote
Control Handset

Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing on the
catch and then removing the cover.

Insert the battery supplied. Make sure it is inserted correctly
(note the markings in the battery compartment).

Additional Information for Units sold in Great Britain

Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC, 50 Hz mains
supply.

In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard Approved mains
lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains plug which, if unsuitable
for your socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a
qualified electrician. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the
plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket
is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock

hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the cor­rect type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be
used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or
damaged the lead and plug must not be used until a replacement is
obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.

If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used,
it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any
othe type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in
the plug or at the distribution board.

Important:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow­ing code:

BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not
correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter
"N" or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a
letter "L" or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal
marked with a letter "E", earth symbol , coloured green or green and
yellow.

Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.

Switching the Unit On and Off

Press the

¢

IO

button on the television.

If you do not use the televison for extended periods of
time (e.g., at night), press this button to turn the televi­son off.
This helps you to save energy.

When the battery is dead, the following display appears on
the screen: "Battery Telepilot".
Dead batteries must be removed immediately.
We assume no responsibility for damage resulting from
battery leakage.
Dead batteries should be disposed of properly (environ­mental protection).
