2. Points to Notice
· Connect to AC mains only but never to DC or other power supplies because Automatic Voltage Regulator is built in the unit. (Refer the specified power rating to the back plate of this unit.)
· To avoid fire or electricity leakage, never place the unit near your kitchen or any place where water easily splashes over or drips on it.
· Locate the unit in a place where light does not strike directly on its screen because light reflection could cause eyestrain. Entirely dark surrounding is also not suitable for watching TV so soft and indirect lighting is recommended.
· Allow enough space between the back of the unit and the wall to permit proper ventilation to prevent the failure of electronic components. Also, do not place it in an excessively hot location.
· To prevent picture’s purity from being affected by the magnetic field of speaker, never put the unit near any external speakers without shielding cover.
· To prevent pre-recorded videotapes from being damaged in the course of TV degaussing, do not locate your VCR too close to the unit.
· Clean the screen and cabinet of the unit only with a cloth moistened with water or detergent but never use any other chemicals. Remember to turn the unit off before starting cleaning.
· Automatic Degaussing: Each time the unit is turned on with the Power On/Off Button; the automatic degaussing circuitry would function very shortly to purge out the residual magnetism on the CRT’s metal parts. This ensures the picture more clear and alive. If it
has been moved to other positions or changed in other directions, first turn its main switch
off for at least one hour and then turn it on again.
