Safety Instructions
General Safety Instructions
Risk of electric shock. DO NOT OPEN!
Do not attempt to service the television yourself, as
opening or removing the covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
the Kogan customer support team.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture. The television should not be
exposed to dripping or or splashing, and no liquid filled objects
such as vases should be placed on the case.
In the event of smoke, strange noises or a strange smell from
the unit, you should follow these steps:
•Turn off the unit immediately.
•Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
•Contact the Kogan customer support team. Never
attempt to make repairs yourself.
Never push objects of any kind into the set through the
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-circuit parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill any liquids onto the set. Use
special caution in households where children are
present. The television is not suitable for children under
4 years old to operate.
Power supply cords should be routed safely to prevent
dangers due to damaged cords.
The mains plug is the main disconnect method, so it should
be easily accessible and not be obstructed during use.
To avoid fires, no naked flame sources such as lit candles or
burning incense should be placed onto the casing of the
television.
Do not pull the plug out of a power outlet by pulling on the
power cable. Always grasp the plug and pull.
Never touch the plug with wet hands.
2

An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Always turn the set off when it is not being used.
Unplug the television from the power outlet when it will
not be used for a long time or when there is an
electrical storm.
Never touch the antenna cable during a lightning storm.
Excessive volume from earphones and headphones can
cause permanent hearing loss. Always monitor the volume of
noise from these devices, especially when children are using
them.

Ventilation should not be impeded or limited by
covering the ventilation slots with items such as
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains etc..
At least 10cm of space should be left around the
apparatus for sufficient ventilation.

not exposed to direct sunlight. It is best to have soft
indirect lighting while watching, and you should avoid
a completely dark viewing environment and
reflections to avoid eye fatigue.
Keep the product away from high magnetic fields
(such as near an amplifier speaker) to avoid affecting
the tint.
