Installation

Power

This set operates on an AC mains supply, the voltage is as indicat­ed on the label on the back cover. Never apply DC power to the set.
In the event of thunderstorms or powercuts, please pull out the aer­ial and mains plugs.

Warning

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the set to rain or
moisture.
Do not place anything containing liquid on top of the set, this may
cause a fire or could give an electric shock.

Service

Never remove the back cover of the set as this can expose you to
very high voltage and other hazards. If the set does not operate
properly, unplug it and call your dealer.

Aerial

Connect the aerial cable to the socket marked +75 Ω on the back
cover. For the best reception an outdoor aerial should be used.

Location

Position your set so that no bright light or sunlight falls directly onto
the screen. Care should be taken not to expose the set to any
unnecessary vibration, moisture, dust or heat. Also ensure that the
set is placed in a position to allow a free flow of air. Do not cover
the ventilation openings on the back cover.

Note:

To remove dirt or fingerprint on the surface of your TV, please rub
with a line-free cloth supplied in the accessory.
Do not pose too much pressure in cleaning so as to prevent any
risk of damage to the product.(only for 21FU1 series models.)
