Matsui 1409T

Interference – Do not place your
television near appliances which may
cause electromagnetic interference
(i.e. HI-FI speakers). If you do, it may
adversely affect the working of the
unit, causing the picture or sound to
distort.

Covers – Do not remove any fixed
covers as this may expose dangerous
voltages.

Weather – It is advisable to unplug
the aerial during a thunderstorm. Even
if your television is switched off, it can
still be damaged if lightning strikes the
mains and/or aerial cables.

Ventilation – The ventilation holes
on the casing of your television
prevent it from overheating. Do not
block or cover these holes - especially
with cloth or paper. If your television is
to be built into a compartment or
similarly enclosed, make sure that
there is at least a gap of 10cm on
both sides and 20cm at the top and
back.

Damage – Never use your television
if it is damaged in any way. Always

place your television on a flat level
surface avoiding anywhere which
may be subject to strong vibration.

Batteries – Batteries are easily
swallowed by young children. Do not
allow young children to play with the
remote control unit.

Temperature – Avoid extremes of
temperature, either hot or cold, place
your television well away from heat
sources such as radiators or
gas/electric fires. Do not place
candles or table lamps on or near
your TV.

Moisture – Do not allow your
television to be exposed to rain,
moisture or dust. Do not place a plant
or flowers which may need watering
on your TV. If any liquid is spilt into
your television it can cause serious
damage. If you spill any liquid into
your television switch it off at the
mains immediately and contact your
store. When cleaning your TV we
recommend that you do not spray
cleaning fluid directly onto the TV
screen.

Your television is supplied with an approved 13AMP fused mains plug. When
replacing the fuse always use a 5AMP (BS 1362) approved type. To obtain a
replacement fuse contact your store. If the mains sockets in your home differ or
are not suitable for the type of plug supplied, then the plug should be cut from
the mains lead and a suitable type fitted. You must use a 13 AMP plug (BS

1363) and fit a 5 AMP fuse (BS 1362). If any other type of plug is used a 5
AMP fuse must be fitted, either in the plug, adaptor or at the distribution board.
Please refer to the wiring instructions.

In an effort to fight crime, we have equipped your TV with security protection. When
activated your TV is protected against unauthorised use. You cannot operate the unit if you
forget the PIN code. Please ensure that you keep a record of the PIN code in a safe place,
in case you forget it.

If the unit needs to be serviced, make sure that the security protect function is OFF, otherwise
you will be charged for resetting this feature.

If you enter the wrong PIN code more than 3 times, the unit will be locked and you will not
be able to operate your TV. To unlock the unit you must disconnect the mains supply and
wait for more than 30 minutes. Reconnecting the mains supply after this time will allow you
to enter the PIN code again.

In certain areas with poor reception, the Automatic Tuning System may not tune your
television to the strongest broadcast signal. If you are not satisfied with the automatic
tuning you may manually tune your television to obtain the best possible picture and
sound.
