The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on
the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same
rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure
it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too
short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid
a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT

As these colour may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured WHITE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter FL. The wire coloured RED must be
connected to the terminal marked with the letter FR. The wire coloured GREEN must be connected to the terminal marked with
the letter C. The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter SL. The wire coloured GREY must
be connected to the terminal marked with the letter SR.

PLEASE PHOTOCOPY AND DISPLAY

Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of
portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused ­resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate
any such problems.

BATTERY

SAFETY

GUIDELINES

ALWAYS

Store unused batteries in their
packaging and away from metal
objects which may cause a short­circuit resulting in leakage or, in
extreme cases, fire or even an
explosion.

ALWAYS

Take care to fit your batteries
correctly,observing the plus and
minus marks on the battery and
appliance. Incorrect fitting can cause
leakage or in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.

ALWAYS

Remove dead batteries from
equipment and all batteries from
equipment you know you are not
going to use for a long time.Otherwise
the batteries may leak and cause
damage.

ALWAYS

Replace the whole set of batteries at
one time,taking care not to mix old
and new batteries or batteries of
different types, since this can result in
leakage or in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.

NEVER

Never dispose of batteries in fire as
this can cause them to explode.
Please put dead batteries in with the
normal household waste.

NEVER

Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by
applying heat to them. They may leak
cause fire or even explode. There are
special rechargeable batteries which
are clearly marked as such.

ALWAYS

Keep loose button cells away from
young children.

ALWAYS

Supervise children if they are replacing
batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.

ALWAYS

Make sure battery compartments are
secure.

NEVER

Remember that small button cell
batteries such as used in some
hearing aids, toys, games and other
appliances, are easily swallowed by
young children and this can be
dangerous.

ALWAYS

Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

• Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To

prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when
connecting the speakers.

• Make sure the stripped end of each speaker cord does not

touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another
speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

• Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

++

+

• Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive re-

moval of insulation.

on the components: + to + and - to -. If the cords are reversed,
the sound will be distorted and will lack of bass.

• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust

the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.
