Warning

In case this appliance is supplied with a Safet

y Standar

d Approved mains
lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains plug which, if unsuitable for
your socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified
electrician. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the plug as
accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to
cause an electrical hazard.

Note:The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard

should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct
type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be used and
the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead
and plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement
fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.

If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used, it
must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any
other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the
plug or at the distribution board.

Important:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with

the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured

black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter "L" or colou-

red red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with a let-

ter "E", earth symbol , coloured green or green and yellow.
Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.

Even if the set is switched off, it could be damaged by a lightning strike hit­ting the mains and/or the aerial lead.

Therefore, always disconnect the mains plug and aerial plug when storms
are apparent.

Protect the set from moisture and dripping or splashing water.

Do not insert any objects into the ventilation openings.
Caution high voltage!

❒

!

The set complies with regulation on protection against x-rays. The x-ray
emission – caused by the tube – is sufficiently shielded and is therefore
completely safe.
Tampering, in particular adjusting the high voltage or installation of a diffe­rent tube type can lead to the x-ray emission substantially increasing. Sets
which have been modified in such a way no longer correspond with this
approval and must not be operated.

220 – 240V, 50/60 Hz (control range of the power suppply unit 165 – 265V)
Power consumption approx. 55 W; in standby 10 W.
Final sound stage: 2 W music signal power (1 W sinus).
The set may only be operated supplied power cable set. It prevents interfe-

rence from the mains and is an integral component for the set’s approv-al.
For a replacement, consult your nearest customer service centre and order
