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 230v AC 50Hz. 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 13A, and 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.
