Additional information:
Your TV set is adequately shielded to prevent X–ray emission.
Acceleration voltage does not exceed the maximum value of 26 kV.
Work by unqualified technicians, modification of the high–voltage
setting or replacement of the tube with a model that does not comply
with the manufacturer’s specifications can lead to a considerable
increase in X–ray emission.

manufacturer’s specifications and should not be putback into service.

3. Demagnetisation
The earth’s magnetic field may affect your television set, causing coloured patches to appear on the screen.
