Manual

Information for users in the UK

(Not applicable outside the UK)

Positioning the TV

For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some

distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around

the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow

through the ventilation apertures.

The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or

stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

General Points

Please take note of the section 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help

TV license holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by

interference.

If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to improve Television

and Radio Reception".

Mains connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the

voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, con-

sult your dealer.

Important

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.

To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be

removed.

Connecting the aerial

The aerial should be connected to the socket marked x at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is

likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-

shift or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results.

Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality.

Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial

socket such as TV games, or a video camera, it is recommended that you consult your dealer on

the best method of connection.

Stand (if provided)

Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A dia-

gram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand, or

legs fixed with woodscrews.

How can I properly clean my plasma television? Verified

Turn off the television and wipe dust and dirt off the screen with a microfiber cloth. Do not use paper, this can cause scratches. Do not apply too much pressure or you might cause damage to pixels. Use a specialized detergent or make one by mixing 1 part vinegar with 1 part water. Moisten the cloth with the detergent and clean the screen. Make sure the cloth is not too wet. Remove stains by making rotating movements. Dry the screen with a second microfiber cloth to prevent stripes.
