*************.
Power Source
The TV set should be operated only from a 220-240V
AC, 50 Hz outlet. Ensure that you select the correct
voltage setting for your convenience.
Power Cord
Do not place the set, a piece of furniture, etc. on the
power cord (mains lead) or pinch the cord. Handle the
power cord by the plug. Do not unplug the appliance
by pulling from the power cord and never touch the
power cord with wet hands as this could cause a short
circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord
or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be
placed in such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fi re or
give you an electric shock. When it is damaged and
needs to be replaced, it should be done by qualifi ed
personnel.
This TV receiver is supplied with a moulded mains
plug. The mains plug must not be cut off, as it may
contain a special radio interference fi lter, the removal
of which could lead to impaired performance. If you
wish to extend the lead, obtain an appropriate safety
approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
Observe the manufacturers instructions when
connecting extension leads to the set. Check the fuse
rating on the new plug; this should be fi tted with a 5
Amp fuse which conforms to either ASTA or BSI
(BS1362) approvals, these are easily identifi able by
English - 3 -
