While the sound is muted in this way, the mute symbol is displayed in the top left of the TV screen. The symbol is removed after 3 seconds, but the sound will remain muted until the [MUTE] key is pressed for the second time,and the mute symbol will display for 3 seconds. DIGITAL TELETEXT Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but also pages of information on the programmes, the weather, news and many other topics. This digital teletext can be displayed by the receiver.Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and carry no normal TV programme at all. These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a quarter-screen image in the EPG or the Channel List screen. When such a channel is selected, after a brief pause, they will usually display the opening page of information automatically. Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the television programme and often include a reducedsize broadcast picture within digital teletext pages.These usually require the [TEXT] button to be pressed to activate the digital teletext pages.In both cases, moving through the different pages of information is accomplished in a variety of ways, - 18 - APPENDIX A - SAFETY POWER The receiver should be plugged into a 230V to 240V AC, 50Hz supply only. LEADS Ensure the power supply lead, and all other leads, are positioned so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by things placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the power lead, where it enters the mains plug and where it comes out of the receiver. Do not connect or adjust leads when the receiver is plugged in. TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE Do not leave or use the receiver in a hot, cold or humid area. Do not allow the receiver to get wet - from drips or splashes - as this may be dangerous. Do not place water-filled objects such as flower vases, on top of the receiver. VENTILATION Slots and openings in the receiver's cover are for ventilation. Do not cover or block them as this could lead to overheating. CLEANING Unplug the receiver before it is cleaned. Use a lightly dampened cloth only. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. HEAT AND FLAMES The receiver should not be placed near to naked flames or sources of intense heat, such as an electric fire. Ensure that no naked flames sources, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the Receiver. LIGHTNING Unplug your receiver from the wall socket if there is a storm or lightning, or if it is to be unused for a long time. REPLACEMENT PARTS If your receiver needs a replacement part, ensure the person undertaking the repair uses parts which are specified by the manufacturer or have the same specifications as the original part. Other parts may cause a fire, electric shock or other hazards. BATTERY DISPOSAL Please ensure that exhausted batteries from the remote control handset are disposed of safely. SERVICING Ensure the person who services your receiver is qualified to do so. Do not remove the cover yourself - you could get an electric shock. We are proud to offer a high-quality product.
