Make sure your electricity supply is the same voltage as the voltage printed on the label on the bottom
of the main unit of your receiver.
The receiver needs a 230-volt (V) 50-hertz (Hz) mains supply. Do not use any other supply. The receiver
comes with a fitted plug. If the plug breaks, you cannot reuse the plug. If you need to change the fuse
in a moulded plug you must refit the fuse cover. If you lose or damage the fuse cover, you must not use
the plug until you have a replacement plug cover or plug.

If you have to change the plug because it is not suitable for your socket, or it is damaged, you should
remove it and fit the right plug using the wiring diagram below. You must throw the plug away safely.
You could get an electric shock if you use it again.

The colours of the wires in the receiver’s power lead may not match the coloured markings in your
plug, so you should follow these instructions.

You must connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter ‘N’ or which is coloured
black.

You must connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter ‘L’ or which is coloured
red.

You should not connect anything to the earth terminal of the plug marked with the letter ‘E’ or
which is coloured green.

You must always use the same fuse value as your receiver’s power-lead plug if you replace it.
