Please read the following recommended safety precautions carefully for your safety.

SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT

This equipment 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 ensure that all electrical connections (including

the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections

between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about

the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be

walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive

wear and tear or heat.

**************

DON’T remove any xed cover as this may expose

dangerous voltages.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the

equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and

shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to

dripping or splashing, or objects lled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

DON’T place hot objects or naked ame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to

equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and

lead to res.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER x legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety always t

the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the

xings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such

use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is

unattended unless it is specically 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 that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for inrm

or handicapped people.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in

any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and

consult your dealer.

ABOVE ALL

--- NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case - this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

--- NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind

--- It is better to be safe than sorry!

Connection to a Television Distribution System (Cable TV etc.) from Tuner

Device connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the mains connection or through other apparatus with a connection to protective earthing-and to a television distribution system using

coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a re hazard.

Connection to a cable distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range

(galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

CAUTION

Do not put your ngers in the middle between the TV and stand, especially when you carry the TV, as they may be injured.
