Never use your TV/VCR if it
is damaged in any way.
Always place your TV/VCR
on a flat level surface
avoiding anywhere which
may be subject to strong
vibration.
Do not remove any
fixed covers as this
may expose
dangerous voltages.
Temperature - Avoid extremes
of temperature, either hot or
cold, place your TV/VCR well
away from heat sources such as
radiators or gas/electric fires.
Ventilation - The ventilation
holes on the top and sides of
your unit prevent it from over
heating. Do not block or cover
these holes - especially with cloth
or paper.
Your TV/VCR is supplied
with an approved 13
amp fused mains plug.
When replacing the
fuse always use a
5 amp (BS 1362)
approved type.
To obtain a replacement fuse
contact your store.
Never use this plug if the fuse cover is
missing. To obtain a replacement fuse
cover 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 on page 38 of this
book.
Please read these instructions before attempting to use your
combined television and video cassette recorder (TV/VCR)
Moisture - Do not allow your TV/VCR to be
exposed to rain, moisture or dust. If any liquid is
spilt into your TV/VCR it can cause serious
damage. If you spill any liquid into your TV/VCR
switch it off at the mains immediately. Contact
your store immediately.
Weather - It is
advisable to unplug
the aerial during an
electrical storm.
Batteries are easily
swallowed by young
children. Do not
allow young children
to play with the
remote control unit.
Interference - Do not place your TV/VCR on or near appliances which may cause
electromagnetic interference (TV or HI-FI speakers). If you do, it may adversely affect the
working of the unit, causing erratic playback distorting picture or sound.
