Damage
Never use your TV if it is damaged in
any way. Always place your TV on a flat
level surface avoiding anywhere which
may be subject to strong vibration.
Weather
It is advisable to unplug the aerial during
an electrical storm.
Moisture
Do not allow your TV to be exposed to
rain, moisture, dust. If any liquid is spilt
into your TV it can cause serious
damage. If you spill any liquid into your
TV switch it off at the mains immediately.
Contact your store.
Interference
Do not place your TV on or near
appliances which may cause
electromagnetic interference (TV or Hi-Fi
speakers). If you do, it may adversely
affect the working of the unit, and cause
a distorted picture or sound.
Temperature
Avoid extremes of temperature, either hot
or cold, place your TV well away from
heat sources such as radiators or
gas/electric fires.
Ventilation
The TV must be well ventilated. Do not
cover your TV or place it inside a small
confined space. Make sure that there is a
gap of at least 10cm on both sides and
20cm at the top.
Batteries
Batteries are easily swallowed by young
children. Do not allow young children to
play with the remote control unit.
Covers
Do not remove any fixed covers as this
may expose dangerous voltages.
Standby
The standby button on the remote control
doesn't switch off the TV completely and
the TV will continue to draw electricity
from the mains supply. Therefore in the
interests of safety and to avoid
unnecessary energy consumption, never
leave your TV in standby while
unattended for long periods of time, eg.
overnight, while on holiday or while out
of the house.
Naked Flames
Naked flames such as candles and night
lights should not be placed on or near
your TV.
Ornaments
Vases and other water containers or
lamps should not be put on top of your
TV set.
Power Cord
Make sure your TV or TV stand is not
resting on top of the power cord, as the
weight of the TV may damage the cord
and create a safety hazard.
Packaging
If you can store the packaging it will
prove useful should you need to transport
the TV to protect it while it is in transit.
Try to reuse packaging wherever you
can. If you cannot store it, contact your
local authority for details of your nearest
recycling facilities.
