REGARDING THE USE OF THIS UNIT.
• Operate only from the power source specified (AC 220 – 240V, 50 Hz) on the unit.
• Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord.
• Avoid improper installation and never position the unit where good ventilation is

minimum distance guidelines show for
safe operation.
• Do not allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.

attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.
* When you do not use this TV set for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect
the power plug from the AC outlet.
WARNING: DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not
suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adaptor or
consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then follow the instruction given below:
IMPORTANT.

E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wires in the mains lead on this product are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated approved type should be used and be
sure to re-fit the fuse cover.

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 apparatus, 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 interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly
made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation or
operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
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 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 standby 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 infirm
or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios that may distract you
when driving. It is illegal to watch television while driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage
your hearing.
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 with wood screws — to ensure
complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with
the fixings provided according to the instructions.
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 electrical shock.
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is
better to be safe than sorry.
