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 5 cm all around the TV
for ventilation, making sure that curtains,
cupboards etc. 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
General Points
Please take note of the section entitled
'Troubleshooting' at the end of this booklet.
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
Television and Radio Reception".
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV to the mains,
check that the mains supply voltage
corresponds 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. The replacement fuse must comply with
BS 1362 and have the ASTA approval
mark. If the fuse is lost, make contact
with your retailer 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, please 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 equipment, 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,
making sure that the fixings are properly
tightened. A diagram showing how to
assemble the stand is packed with the stand.
Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed
with woodscrews.
