Safety Precautions

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

SOME DOS 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 ﬁ 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 ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

DON’T place hot objects or naked ﬂ ame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to ﬁ res.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER ﬁ x legs with wood screws - to ensure

complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the ﬁ xings

provided according to the instructions.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from

the requirements of trafﬁ c safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

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 speciﬁ 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 inﬁ 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!

*************.

Power Source

The TV set should be operated only from a 220-240 V AC, 50 Hz outlet. Ensure that you select the correct voltage setting for your convenience.

Power Cord

Do not place the set, a piece of furniture, etc. on the power cord (mains lead) or pinch the cord. Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not unplug the appliance by pulling from the power cord and never touch the power cord with wet hands as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be placed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause ﬁ re or give you an electric shock. When it is damaged and needs to be replaced, it should be done by qualiﬁ ed personnel.

This TV receiver is supplied with a moulded mains plug. The mains plug must not be cut off, as it may contain a special radio interference ﬁ lter, the removal of which could lead to impaired performance. 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 set. Check the fuse rating on the new plug; this should be ﬁ tted with a 5 Amp fuse which conforms to either ASTA or BSI (BS1362) approvals, these are easily identiﬁ able by

English - 3 -

either the ASA or symbols. If you are in any doubt about the installation of an extension lead, please consult a competent electrician.

Moisture and Water

Do not use this device in a humid and damp place (avoid the bathroom, the sink in the kitchen, and near the washing machine). Do not expose this device to rain or water, as this may be dangerous and do not place objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as ﬂ ower vases, on top. Avoid from dripping or splashing.

If any solid object or liquid falls into the cabinet, unplug the TV and have it checked by qualiﬁ ed personnel before operating it any further.

Cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the TV set from the wall outlet. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use soft and dry cloth.

Ventilation

The slots and openings on the TV set are intended for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation. To prevent overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered in anyway.

Heat and Flames

The set should not be placed near to open ﬂ ames and sources of intense heat such as an electric heater. Ensure that no open ﬂ ame sources, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the TV. Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, ﬁ re or the like.

Lightning

Before a storm and lightning or when going on holiday, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician has used replacement parts, which are speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer or have the same speciﬁcations as the original one. Unauthorized substitutions may result in ﬁ re, electrical shock or other hazards.

Servicing

Please refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not remove the cover yourself as this may result in an electric shock.

Waste Disposal

•Instructions for waste disposal:

•Packaging and packaging aids are recyclable and should principally be recycled. Packaging materials, such as foil bag, must be kept away from children.

•Batteries, including those which are heavy metalfree, should not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used battery in an environment friendly manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area. Don’t try to recharge batteries. Danger of explosion. Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type.

Information for Users in European Union Countries

The above mark is in compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2002/96/ EC (WEEE). The mark indicates the requirement NOT to dispose the equipment including any spent or discarded batteries as unsorted municipal waste, but use the return

and collection systems available. If the batteries or accumulators included with this equipment display the chemical symbol Hg, Cd, or Pb, then it means that the battery has a heavy metal content of more than 0.0005% Mercury, or more than 0.002% Cadmium or more than, 0.004% Lead.

Disconnecting the Device

Warning

Do not leave your TV in standby or operating mode when you leave your house.

•The Standby / On button doesn´t separate this device completely from mains. Moreover the device consumes power in the standby operation. In order to separate the device completely from mains, the mains plug has to be pulled from the mains socket. Because of that the device should be set up in a way, that an unobstructed access to mains socket is guaranteed, so that in case of emergency the mains plug can be pulled immediately. To exclude the danger of ﬁ re, the power cord should principally be separated from the mains socket prior to a longer period of non-usage, i.e. during vacations.

Electrical device not in the hands of children

Never let children use electrical device unsupervised. Children can´t always recognize properly the possible dangers. Batteries / accumulators can be life threatening when swallowed. Store batteries unreachable for small children. In case of swallowing a battery medical aid has to be sought immediately. Also keep the packaging foils away from children. There is danger of suffocation.
