Safety Precautions
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured. Please read
the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with all electronic
consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation
Leave at least 10cm clearance around the television
to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent
overheating and possible damage to the TV. Dusty
places should also be avoided.
Heat Damage
Damage may occur if the TV is left 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 5°C (41°F).
Mains Supply
The mains supply required for this equipment is
110-240v AC 50Hz. An AC Adaptor is supplied
with it and should be used for this equipment only.
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. In the UK, the fuse fitted in
this plug is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It
should only be replaced by a correctly rated and
approved type and the fuse cover must be refitted.
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 interconnections 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,
tablecloths, 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
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 by withdrawing the plug,
make sure your family know how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or
handicapped 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, withdraw the
mains plug and consult your dealer.
ABOVE ALL – NEVER let anyone, especially
children, push or hit the screen, push
anything into holes, slots or any other
openings in the case.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe
than sorry.

Installation and important information
Where to install
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong
lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for
comfortable viewing. Place the TV on a sturdy platform,
the mounting surface should be flat and steady.
Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on
the screen.
The LCD panel can be inclined up to 5 degrees forward
or 15 degrees backward for a more comfortable viewing
angle. Alternatively a bracket is available to enable the
screen to be wall-mounted.
The LCD display panels are manufactured using an
extremely high level of precision technology, however
sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing
picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a
sign of a manfunction.
