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 television.
Dusty places should also be avoided.
Heat Damage
Damage may occur if the television 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 50/60Hz. Never connect to a DC
supply or any other power source. DO ensure that
the television 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 manufacturers’ 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. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight
falling on the screen.
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, or
secured to the platform using the fixing strap located
underneath the table top stand, this will prevent it from
falling over.
A floor stand is available for this television, or an angled
bracket which enables the television 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
malfunction.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break or
damage the screen, and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.
