This equipment has been designed and
manufactured to meet international safety
standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the
best results and safety is to be assured. So,
please read the points below for your own
safety. They are of a general nature, intended
to help you with all your electronic consumer
products and some points may not apply to
the goods you have just purchased.
Some “DOs” and “DON’Ts” for you
Air Circulation…
Leave at least 10cm clearance around the
television to allow adequate ventilation. This
will prevent the TV from overheating and consequential possible damage to the TV. Dusty
places should also be avoided.
Heat Damage…
Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places
subject to extremely high temperatures or
humidity, or locations where the temperature
is likely to fall below 5ºC (41ºF).
Mains Supply…
The mains supply required for this equipment
is 230V AC, 50 Hz. Never connect to a DC
supply or any other power source. DO ensure
that the TV is not standing on the mains lead.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment, this incorporates a special Radio Interference Filter, the removal of which will impair
its performance.
IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A
COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.
DO…
DO read the operating instructions before you
attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and
inter-connections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance
with the manufacturers’ instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt
about the installation, operation or safety of
your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.
DO NOT…
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may
expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers,
table-cloths, curtains etc. Overheating will
cause damage and shorten the life of the
equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing or objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on
the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to the equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix
legs with wood screws. To ensure complete
safety, always fit the manufacturer’s approved
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume,
as such use can permanently damage your
hearing.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it
is unattended, unless it is specifically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation or
has a standby mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure your
family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or
disabled people.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if
you are in any doubt about it working normally,
or it is damaged in any way – switch off, with-
draw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T throw your batteries into a fire. Dis-
pose of your batteries in a designated disposal area or where suitable recycling facilities exist.
ABOVE ALL – NEVER let anyone, especially
children, push anything into holes, slots or
any other openings in the case – this could
result in a fatal electric shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe
than sorry.

Where to install
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights, soft, indirect lighting is
recommended for comfortable viewing. Place on a sturdy platform, the mounting surface
should be flat and steady, it should then be secured to the wall with a sturdy tie using the clip
on the back of the television, this will prevent it from falling over. Use curtains or blinds to
prevent direct sunlight falling on the screen.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects
and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.
