SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DONOT 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:
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated "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.
WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN ORMOISTURE.
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.
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 appliances 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 lifelike. 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.
