Safety Precautions
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured. Please
read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with all electronic
consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation
Leave at least 10cm clearance around the televi-
sion to allow adequate ventilation. This will pre-
vent overheating and possible damage to the
television. Dusty places should also be avoided.
Heat Damage
Damage may occur if the television is left in di-
rect sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places sub-
ject to extremely high temperatures or humidity,
or locations where the temperature is likely to fall
below 5°C 41°F).
Mains Supply
IMPORTANT: The TV set is designed to operate
on 24 V DC. For this, an adaptor is used which
gives 24 V voltage. Connect this adaptor to a
system that supplies 230 V AC 50Hz.
The mains supply required for this equipment is
230V AC 50Hz. Never connect to a DC supply
or any other power source. DO ensure that the
television is not standing on the mains lead. DO
NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment,
this incorporates a special Radio Interference Fil-
ter, the removal of which will impair its perfor-
mance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug is
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It should
only be replaced by a correctly rated and ap-
proved type and the fuse cover must be refit-
ted. This set requires an earthed supply. IF IN

The remote control
Simple at-a-glance reference of your remote control.
Inserting batteries and effective range of the remote
Remove the back cover to reveal the battery compartment and make sure the
batteries are inserted the right way round. Suitable battery types for this remote are
AAA, IEC R03 1.5V.
Do not combine a used, old battery with a new one or mix battery types. Remove
dead batteries immediately to prevent acid from leaking into the battery compart-
ment. Dispose of them in a designated disposal area.
The performance of the remote control will deteriorate beyond a distance of five
metres or outside an angle of 30 degrees from the centre of the television. If the
operating range becomes reduced the batteries may need replacing.
