SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut
off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immedi-
ately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket
outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : NeutralBrown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows;
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N
or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked
L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off
plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead
wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority
on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger,
please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your
safety and prolong the service life of your LCD colour TV product, please read the following precautions
carefully before using the product.
■ Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
■ Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for
future reference.
■ Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
■ Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
■ Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attach-
ments can result in accidents.
■ Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.
■ Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them
or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.
■ If you plan to use a DC power supply unit other than the AC adapter supplied with the product, make sure
the power supply unit provides stable voltage with minimum fluctuations. Unstable power supply can cause
problems in the product.
■ Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
■ Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High
voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts.
For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
■ Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high
voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.
■ Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a
qualified service person to perform repairs:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjust-
ment work by a qualified technician.
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates
that the product needs servicing.
■ Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance
as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
■ Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
■ Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product
according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, swimming
pool and in a wet basement.
■ Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can
cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as
well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod,

designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and
openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating
and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block
ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in
installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such
as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
■ The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore,
it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact.
Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the
LCD panel breaks.
■ Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such
as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products
(including amplifiers).
