This television has been designed and manufactured to meet international

switch on the equipment and show your family how to do this. Make special arrangements
for infirm or handicapped people.
DO NOT obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft
furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the lifespan of your equipment.

safety, always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings provided
according to the instructions.
DO NOT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

it is better to be safe than sorry!

between the pieces of equipment), are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions
. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
