Safety
•Position your Video so that no bright light or sunlight falls directly onto it.
•Care should be taken not to expose your Video to any unnecessary vibration, moisture, dust or heat.
•During electrical storms it is advisable to unplug both the aerial cable and mains plug to prevent accidental damage to your Video and TV.
•Do not operate your Video if it is damaged.
•If your Video still does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer. Your Video should not be repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
•Never remove the top cover of your Video as this can expose you to very high voltage and other hazards.
•Ensure that your Video is placed in a position to allow a free flow of air.
•The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Cleaning
1Unplug the Video from the mains supply.
2Clean the cabinet with a soft damp cloth, do not apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Video head cleaning
High quality video tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video heads, but old or damaged tapes may. This dirt can accumulate on the video heads after a long period of time and cause the picture to become blurred or broken up.
To clean the video heads use a video heads cleaning tape available from electrical stores.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or frail persons without supervision.
Young Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with appliance.
If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set on electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
