TV's are generally programmed for the required service levels before they are
installed in a hospital. When you replace TV's or when channel numbers change,
reprogramming is needed.

The most common service levels used are levels 1 to 4. Premium 1 and/or
Premium 2 Service Levels are used when "pay per view" movies or events or
when movie channels are offered at an extra charge.

1. Free Service Level

The Free Service Level lets patients watch hospital education and information
channels, without renting the television. The channels over which education and
information are broadcast must be programmed into this level of service.
Entertainment channels are not generally included and therefore are not
programmed into this Free Service Level.

2. Locked Service Level

The Locked Service Level does not let the
patient, "self rent" and when a patient tries to
do so, this message appears.

The free channels, over which education and
information are broadcast, must be
programmed into this service level so that the
non paying viewer can watch the
free education and information channels.

Locked service makes it possible to cut off rental, to those who continue to "self
rent" and then refuse to pay for this rental service.

Representative

In the easy to clean, membrane control panel, on the lower front of the TV, there
are 11 large, easy to read, buttons. Either the patient or the TV representative
can use the 5 buttons on the right side, to turn the TV on and off, change
channels and raise or lower the sound. These functions can be controlled as well,
with the infrared hand unit. The far right side of this panel responds to the infrared
beam produced when you press the buttons on the hand held infrared unit.

On the left side of the membrane control panel, the Menu button and the Enter
button makes it easy for patients to rent the television or "self rent", as it is called,
when the TV representative is not present. The other 4 buttons, on the left side of
the panel, become active when the L-10 TV is operated as part of a computerized
system. Patients can then use these buttons to select from the menu options that
appear on the TV.

The infrared hand unit lets the TV representative manage the special features of
the L-10, such as levels of service, channel groupings and selections and as well
change the quality of the picture, features and choice of language.

EARPHONE Jack

The EARPHONE Jack is in the lower left corner. Insert an ear piece or head set
and the sound comes only from this device.

Closed Captioning :

When available, captions (CC) may be displayed on a selected channel by
pressing the ENTER/CC button on the front panel of thetelevision or on the
remote control unit.
By continuing to press the ENTER/CC button four different selections can be
made.
Caption 1, Caption 2, Text 1, Text 2.
Once you choose a Caption leave it in that selection unless you know there is
something available in one of the other options.
Once selection is made it is remembered until you change it.
To turn off captions continue pressing the ENTER/CC button until the OFF
position is reached.

Owner's Manual

About the L-10 ELF television

The infrared unit is hand held and produces an infrared beam that you cannot
see. This beam travels in a straight line, much like the light beam from a flashlight.
The infrared hand unit operates with two "AA" cell batteries.

In some hospitals, the patient may have the option of using an infrared hand unit
that has fewer buttons than the unit used by the TV representative. With their
infrared hand unit, patients can self rent, change channels and volume levels but
they are not able to select or change the special features of the

L-10

. The TV
representative can perform all the patients' functions and can also select and
change the special features that the

L-10 ELF

TV offers.

Owner's Manual

3. Basic Unpaid Service Level

When a patient "self rents", the TV automatically goes to the Basic Unpaid
Service Level. All the entertainment channels available in the hospital, as well as
the education and information channels must be programmed into this service
level.

This confirms that the TV is rented but the rental fee is not

paid.

4. Basic Paid Service Level

When you collect the rental fee and press the PAID button on the infrared hand
unit, the TV automatically changes to the Basic Paid

Service Level. The Basic
Paid and the Basic Unpaid Service Levels should be assigned the same group of
channels (channelmap).

This confirms that the TV is rented and the rental fee is paid.

5. Premium 1 Service Level

This level of service is available only when special services such as "pay per
view" movies or events or movie channels are offered at an additional cost to the
basic service level. The Premium 1 Service Level is usually made available to
patients who have rented and paid for the basic service level.

6. Premium 2 Service Level

This service level, when provided, is in addition to Premium 1. Premium 2
Service Level must include its own selected channel(s) as well as the channel(s)
programmed in Premium 1 Service Level. The Premium 2 Service Level is usually
only made available to patients who have the Basic Paid Service Level and the
Premium 1 Service Level.

IN NON-RENTAL ACCOUNTS, TV MUST BE PROGRAMMED IN THE BASIC UNPAID
OR BASIC PAID SERVICE LEVEL. THIS WILL DISABLE THE SELF RENT FEATURE.

CONTENT LABELS

TV Parental Guidelines may have one or more letters added to the basic rating to let
parents know when a show contains higher levels of potentially, offensive material.
Note that the content label should be considered in light of its associated rating.
For example, a "V" is likely to designate considerably more intense violence when
associated with a TV-MA rated program than when it is associated with a TV-PG rated
program.

V Violence D Suggestive dialogue

S Sexual situations FV Fantasy violence

L Coarse or crude indecent language

NOTE

You do not need to block each TV parental guide rating individually.
The TV-Y and TV-Y7 ratings are handled as a group, and the TV-G, TV-PG, TV­14, and TV-MA Ratings are handled as a group.
For example, if you choose a program with a TV-14 rating, the V-chip will
automatically also block TV-MA rated programs.
In the same manner, passing (unblocking) the TV-MA rating would automatically
also pass TV-14 rated programs.
Also note that you have the option of passing or blocking programs based on their
content label (D,L,S,V,FV) without necessarily blocking all programs that carry a
specific rating.
For example, you may pass some TV-PG programs, but not those which also
carry a "V"(moderate violence) content label.
In this case, the V-chip would automatically block TV-14 and TV-MA rated
programs which carry the "V".
