Environmentally relevant information is mar-

Notes on the environment by Grundig
Technology and ecology combine into a con-
vincing overall concept with this TV set. Ecological-
ly high-quality materials are used exclusively. The
housing contains many recyclable parts from used
plastics and is painted using water-based paints
and, in part, recycled paints. Wherever possible,
painting of individual housing parts has been omit-
ted. Due to the optimized housing construction,
flame protection materials have been omitted. The
number of plastic types has been reduced in order
to ensure high-quality recycling
when the set is put out of use –
all larger plastic parts are mar-
ked. To optimize reusability,
this TV set has been construc-
ted in such a way as to make
disassembly very easy.

❒Connection
Insert the telescopic antenna into the socket on the
rear panel.
Plug the aerial cable or telescopic antenna into the
aerial socket of the set.
Insert the mains lead into the set’s mains socket
and connect the plug to the mains supply.
Connection of external devices is described on
pages 15 and 16.

❒Service notes for authorised dealers:
The product fulfills the requirements of
the following EU guidelines:
73/23/EEC guideline on electrical equipment for use
with certain voltage limits. 89/336/EEC guideline on
electromagnetic compatibility.
The set complies with the standards:
EN 60065, EN 55013, EN 55020
The appliance conforms to VDE safety regulations
and Deutsche Bundespost regulations (approval
mark, see type-ID sticker on back of set), further-
more to the regulation on protection from harm by
X-rays. The x-ray emission – caused by the tube – is
sufficiently shielded and is therefore completely safe.
Accelerating voltage 25 kV/mean electron flow 0.8 mA.
Tampering, in particular adjusting the high voltage
or installation of a different tube type can lead to the
x-ray emission substantially increasing. Sets which
have been modified in such a way no longer corre-
spond with this approval and may not be operated.

Additional Information for Units sold in Great Britain
Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V
AC, 50 Hz mains supply.
In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard
Approved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp
mains plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electri-
cian. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the
plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13
Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a pos-
sible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13
Amp socket elsewhere.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable
plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI
approved BS 1362) must be used and the fuse cover must
be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your
dealer.
If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363)
plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI
approved BS 1362 fuse. If any othe type of plug is used it
must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at
the distribution board.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appli-
ance may not correspond with the coloured marking iden-
tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked
with the letter "N" or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal
marked with a letter "L" or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to
the terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol ,
coloured green or green and yellow.
Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.
