Positionin g 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 entitled 'Tips' at the end of this booklet. Interference The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV licence 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, consult 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. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A. Note:The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code : BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N") BROWN - "LIVE" ("L") 1.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK. 2.The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED. 3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol l or coloured green or green-and-yellow. Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires. Connecting the aerial The aerial should be connected to the socket marked M 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 loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate.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 these be connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug. Fitting the stand (if provided) Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed in the castor bag. Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews. In some models only, in order to fit the stand it may be necessary to remove the feet with the key provided (see illustration). To fit the stand remove the feet on the TV using the key supplied (see illustration).
