Safety Precautions
Please read the following recommended safety pre­cautions carefully for your safety.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ON OPERATING YOUR TV
Dos and 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 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 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 either the
you are in any doubt about the installation of an extension lead, please consult a competent electrician.
or symbols. If
DONTs
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.
DONT place water filled vessels on top of T.V. cabinets.
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 or handicapped people.
DONT use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the re­quirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DONT obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DONT use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs or stands to the TV with any screws other than those provided - to ensure complete safety al­ways use the manufacturers approved stand with the fixings provided.
DONT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
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 electric shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry!
PE Connection to mains
Be sure to ground the connection properly. Connect the ground terminal of TV with the ground terminal provided at the power outlet using the enclosed power cord. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, con­sult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

1.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.
2.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 pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet 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 fire or give you an electric shock. When it is damaged and needs to be changed, it should be done by qualified personnel.
3. Moisture and Water
Do not use this equipment in a humid and damp place (avoid the bathroom, the sink in the kitchen, and near the washing machine). Do not expose this equipment to rain or water, as this may be dangerous and do not place objects filled with liquids, such as flower 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 qualified personnel before operating it any further.
4.Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the TV set from the wall out­let. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use soft and dry cloth.
5. 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.
6. Heat and Flames
The set should not be placed near to naked flames and sources of intense heat, such as an electric heater. Ensure that no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the TV. Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sun­shine, fire or the like.
7. Lightning
In case of storm and lightning or when going on holi­day, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
8. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts which are specified by the manufacturer or have the same specifications as the original one. Unauthorized sub­stitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.
9. Servicing
Please refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not remove the cover yourself as this may result in an electric shock.
