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 ex tension lead or consult your dealer.
Observe the manufacturers instr uctions when
connecting extension leads to the TV. Check the
fuse rating on the new plug, this should be fitted
with a 5 Amp fuse whic h conforms to either ASTA
or BSI (BS1 362) approvals, these are easily
identifiable by either the

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 equ ipment 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 th e 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 sta nd
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 ca se - 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

power cord (mains lead) or pinch the cord. Handle
the pow er 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

The set should not be placed near to naked flames
and s ourc es 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

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.
