Information for Users in the UK

This information is specific to the UK. If you are using your TV in the UK, use this information in conjunction with the rest of this manual.

Positioning the TV

For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5cm around the TV for ventilation. Ensure that curtains, cupboards and other items cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures. The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference. If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet “How to Improve Televi- sion and Radio Reception”.

Mains Connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage cor- responds to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.

Important

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 AMP plug. Should it become necessary to replace the mains fuse, this

must be replaced with a fuse of the same value as indicated on the plug.

1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2.Replace the fuse.

The replacement fuse must comply with BS 1362 and have the ASTA approval mark. If the fuse is lost, contact your re- tailer in order to verify the correct type.

3.Refit the fuse cover.

If for any reason the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, consult your retailer or a qualified electrician before proceeding with the installation.

Connecting the Aerial

The aerial should be connected to the socket marked : at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift loft or set- top aerials are often inadequate. Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality. Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equip- ment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.

Fitting the Stand (If Provided)

Use only the stand provided with the set. Ensure that the fixings are properly tight- ened. A diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with screws.
