Do’sand Don’ts

DO’s

This Television has been designed and
manufactured to meet international safety
standards, but like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the

best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before

you attempt to use the equipment.
DO consult your dealer if you are in any

doubt about installation, operation or safety
of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.

This TV is supplied with a fitted mains plug.
This plug must not be cut off as it may con­tain a special radio interference filter, the re­moval of which could lead to impaired per-

formance. If you wish to extend the lead, ob­tain an appropriate safety approved exten­sion lead or consult your dealer.

Observe the manufacturers instructions
when connecting extension leads to the TV.

Check the fuse rating on the new plug, this
should be fitted with a 5 Amp fuse which
