General Information

1. Precautions

Never open your set yourself. It could be dangerous and you risk electric shock or damaging the set. Any noticed damage will invalidate the warranty conditions of your equipment.

Installation: Ensure that the voltage from the mains in your room complies with that indicated on the back of your set (identification label, screen marking, etc.). Do not connect an AC or DC power supply other than that from the mains. Ensure that the electric plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Leave the mains socket accessible so that you can unplug the set quickly. Place the set horizontally, away from any source of heat (sunlight, radiator, fireplace, etc.) or from equipment which produces high magnetic or electrical fields (motors, non-insulated loud speakers, etc.). If you install your set in a cabinet, ensure that it has enough ventilation. Leave 7 to 10 cm around the set, as shown in the enclosed drawing. The openings on top and underneath the set are for ventilation purposes. They must not be obstructed.

Use: The set is designed for use in a dry place. If, under exceptional circumstances, you happen to use it outdoors, (e.g. on a balcony or in a tent), make absolutely certain that it is protected from humidity (dew, rain, splashes) and from heat. If the set has spent some time in a cold atmosphere, (after transport during winter), wait until the condensation has evaporated from the metal parts before connecting it. The set is intended to operate at an ambient temperature of less than 40° Celsius and a maximum humidity level of 95%. It must not, under any circumstances, be used for industrial purposes, as it was designed for domestic use only.

In case of a thunder storm – It is recommended that you unplug the set from the mains and from the socket connected to the outside aerial. As a general rule, it is preferable to unplug

the set from the mains if you are away for a prolonged period. If you smell any suspicious odours or see smoke coming rom the set, unplug the set immediately and have it checked by an approved technician.

Maintenance – Use a dry, clean, soft cloth with no cleaning, solvent or abrasive products, etc. The openings on top of and underneath the set are for ventilation purposes and must not be

obstructed. Clean the ventilation grilles regularly. If an object or liquid gets into the set, unplug the set immediately and have it checked by an approved technician.

Environment friendly - Only ecologically high-grade materials are used. The packing consist of almost 100% recycled paper, its plastic parts have been reduced to a minimum. To facilitate service and optimum recycling, this receiver has been designed in a specially disassembly-friendly and recycling friendly way. The batteries supplied are free of mercury and cadmium. Do not dispose of used batteries, also those free of heavy metals, together with domestic waste. If you are not using the receiver for a lengthy period (including overnight), please switch it over to standby. This saves energy.

This symbol on your set guarantees that your product complies with the European directive

89/336/CEE, 73/23/CEE, 93/68/CEE on safety, electromagnetic compatibility and marking aspects.

This symbol indicates “Dangerous voltage” in the set. It represents the risk of electric shock or

bodily injury.
