notes on safety
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 safety is to be assured.
Please read these assembly instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical equipment (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly
made in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when 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 any glass panels or doors on equipment.
Do not 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.
Do not place water filled vessels on top of your TV’s cabinet.
Do not remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
Do not leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or
has a standby 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 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 life of the equipment.
Do not use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety always fix the manufacturers approved
stand or legs with the fixings according to the instructions.
Do not allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case - this could result in a fatal shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry.
