Safety Precautions (continued)

Some Do’s and Don’ts on the Safe Use of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt

to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including

the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about

the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on

equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in

any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way^switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose

dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is

unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or

radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such

use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for

example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with

wood screws^to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to

rain or moisture.

^ NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment

of any kind^it is better to be safe than sorry!

IMPORTANT: Connection to the mains supply in the United

Kingdom. 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 a proper safety approved extension lead/adapter or consult your dealer.

In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If the fuse fails again consult your nearest JVC dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:

DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded E or Green.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black

Brown to L (Live) or Red

If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows:

Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured Black.

Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.

If in doubt ^ consult a competent electrician.

ABOVE ALL...

^ NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into

holes, slots or any other opening in the case^this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
