For your safety

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standarts but,
like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is
to be assured. So, please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature,
intended to help you with all your electronic consumer products and some points may not apply
to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation...
Leave at least 10 cm clearance around the television
to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent the
TV from overheating and consequential possible
damage to the TV. Dusty places should also be
avoided.
Heat Damage...
Damage may occur if you leave the TV 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
(41F).
Mains Supply...
The mains supply required for this equipment is
110 - 240 V AC 50 Hz. Your TV set is designed
to operate with the adapter provided. The adaptor
will become hot during use, this is normal. ONLY
USE THE ADAPTOR SUPPLIED WITH THIS TV. Use
only the power cord supplied with the unit. 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
