doubt about installation, operation or safety

of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on

equipment.

This TV is supplied with a fitted mains plug.

This plug must not be cut off as it may con-

tain a special radio interference filter, the re-

moval of which could lead to impaired per-

formance. If you wish to extend the lead, ob-

tain an appropriate safety approved exten-

sion lead or consult your dealer.

Observe the manufacturers instructions

when connecting extension leads to the TV.

Check the fuse rating on the new plug, this

should be fitted with a 5 Amp fuse which

conforms to either ASTA or BSI (BS1 362)

approvals, these are easily identifiable by ei-

ther the

or symbols. If you are in

any doubt about the installation of an exten-

sion lead, please consult a competent elec-

trician.
