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

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 +75Ωon the back

cover. For the best reception an outdoor aerial should be used.
