WARNINGS

INSTRUCTIONS.

DANGEROUS.

Mains plug and mains lead

We have fitted this equipment with a standard mains plug.
If you cut off the mains plug or fit a different type, destroy the old plug, as it is dangerous to
insert it into a live power outlet.
If a fuse is fitted to the plug, remove the fuse before throwing the plug away.
Carefully follow the wiring instructions supplied with a new mains plug.
Never use a fused mains plug without the fuse cover.
If the mains lead becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified person with an approved mains lead of the same type and rating
to avoid a hazard.
Make sure the mains lead cannot be walked on crushed, chafed or cut and that it is routed
in such a way as to reduce the risk of a tripping hazard.
Do not let the mains lead hang over edge of a table or counter or come into contact with hot
surfaces.
Do not immerse the mains lead or mains plug in water or any other liquid.

Mains plug wiring for the UK

In a re wirable plug the wires in the mains lead of this equipment must be connected as
follows.

The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L.

The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N.

There is no green or green and yellow wire. Do not connect anything
To the Earth terminal which is marked E, or with a symbol.

You must make sure the mains lead is firmly secured under the cord clamp.

UK standard (BS1363) plugs must be fitted with a BS1362 standard fuse rated at 3A or 5A.

Ventilation

Allow at least a 10cm gap all around. Don't obstruct the ventilation slots with soft
furnishings. Overheating will increase the risk of fire.

Cleaning

Disconnect the mains supply and use only a lightly dampened soft cloth. Do not use
chemical solvents or strong detergents as these may damage the cosmetic finish.
Never allow water droplets to remain on the screen as moisture can cause permanent
discoloration. Greasy marks must
be removed using a commercially available cleaner for LCD screens.

Batteries

Remove batteries when the remote control is not to be used for a long time. Batteries left in
the product may cause damage through deterioration and corrosive leakage, invalidating
the guarantee. To protect the environment, use local recycling facilities for disposal. Never
throw batteries on a fire! Danger of explosion.

Wall or stand mounting

Products that may be mounted on a stand or wall must be securely attached in accordance
with the installation instructions. Never fit non-approved stands or legs.
For wall mounting, always ensure the area to be drilled is free from electrical wires, water
and gas pipes, by using a suitable locator device.
