Warning and cautions
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
The graphic symbols on the back cover of the set mean the following:
ARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
PPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
INSTALLATION
LOCATE the receiver in the room where direct light does not strike the screen. Total darkness or
a reflection on the picture screen can cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recommended
for comfortable viewing. ALLOW enough space between the receiver and the wall to permit
proper ventilation. AVOID excessive warm locations to prevent possible damage to the cabinet or
component failure.
CONNECTION
This TV receiver can be connected to 230V- 50Hz, NEVER connect to DC supply or any other
power.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsuiated "dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
AUTOMATIC DEGAUSSING
All colour television receivers are sensitive to magnetic influences, usually caused by either
moving the receiver from one place to another or using certain electrical appiiances near the
receiver. This residual magnetism as it is called, sometimes causes distortion which gives rise to
"blotchy" areas of colour in the picture. To avoid these effects the receiver incorporates an
automatic degaussing circuit which operates for a short while immediately each time the receiver
is switched on using the mains switch. This circuit removes any residual magnetism in the metal
parts of the picture tube and therefore ensures that each time the receiver is switched "ON"
using the Mains switch, the purity of the colours displayed on the screen remain true and lifeiike.
If the set is moved or faced in a different direction, the mains switch must be switched off at least
10 minutes in order that the automatic degaussing circuit operates properly.
