• Always use the provided AC adaptor.
• Operate only from the power source specied on
the AC adaptor.
• The power adaptor may become hot during normal
operation. This is not a malfunction.
• Please make sure that the adaptor is not covered
while in operation. Leave a space of 15 cm (minimum)

WARNING: When the set is not in use for a long time,
disconnect from the power.
Power Cord
• Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on
the power cord, or pinch the cord. Handle the power
cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging
the cord and never touch the power cord when your
hands are wet 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
routed in such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause re
or give you an electrical shock. Check the power
cord once in a while. When you nd it damaged,
ask closest service agent for help.
• Please do not place the set in a place subject to
direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock
or in a location near heat sources.
• The device should be placed on a solid and safe
base.
• Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such
as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on
the bottom.
• The selected location should not have a high
humidity. Condensation, that may arise in a kitchen
for example, may cause a malfunction or damage
the device.
• Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also
may cause malfunction or damage the device.
• The hot air, which arises during operation, should
be ventilated with sufcient air circulation. Please
do not put the device into closed areas and do not
cover it.
• Please avoid contact of the device with water or
humidity. Do not put into operation near bath,
swimming pools.
• Take care to provide good air circulation. Place the
device in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the device.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the device and have it checked by qualied
personnel before operating it any further.
• The device should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects lled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the device.
CAUTION
• Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, re or the like.

(Cable TV etc.) from Tuner
Device connected to the protective earthing
of the building installation through the mains
connection or through other apparatus with a
connection to protective earthing-and to a
television distribution system using coaxial cable,

SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE
OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and
manufactured to meet international safety
standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the
best results and to ensure its safety.
**************
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt
to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including
the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between the pieces of equipment) are properly
made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug
before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt
about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be
walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive
wear and tear or heat.
**************
DON’T remove any xed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and
shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
dripping or splashing, or objects lled with liquids, such
as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked ame sources
such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and
lead to res.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER x legs
with wood screws - to ensure
complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s
approved stand or legs with the xings
provided according to the instructions.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or
radios so that you are distracted from
the requirements of trafc safety. It is illegal to watch
television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such
use can permanently damage your
hearing.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation or has a
stand-by mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure that your
family know how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for inrm or
handicapped people.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are
in any doubt about it working
normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off,
withdraw the mains plug and consult
your dealer.
ABOVE ALL
--- NEVER let anyone especially children
push anything into holes, slots or any other
opening in the case - this could result in a
fatal electrical shock;
--- NEVER guess or take chances with
electrical equipment of any kind
--- It is better to be safe than sorry!
