Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION ON OPERATING

YOUR TV

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
conforms to either ASTA or BSI (BS1 362)
approvals, these are easily identifiable by ei-

ther the or symbols. If you are in

-6-

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may
expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it
is unattended unless it is specifically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation
or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using
the switch on the equipment and make sure

your family know how to do this. Special ar­rangements may need to be made for infirm

Tips

Care Of The Screen

Clean the screen with a slightly damp, soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive solvents as they

may damage the TV screen coating layer.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system? Is
your TV set or house aerial located too close

to the loudspeakers, non-earthed audio
equipment or neon lights, etc.?

Mountains or high buildings can cause
double pictures or ghost images. Some-

times you can improve the picture quality by
changing the direction of the aerial.

Is the picture or Teletext unrecognisable?
Check if you have entered the correct fre-

quency.
The picture quality may degrade when two

peripherals are connected to the TV at the
same time. In such a case, disconnect one

of the peripherals.

No Picture

Remote Control

Your TV no longer responds to the remote
control. Press the “

mote control once more. Perhaps the batter­ies are exhausted. If so you can still use the
localbuttonsat the top of theTV.

Have you selected the wrong menu? Press
