For safety reasons please read the following instructions and Important Safety Information carefully before

attempting to connect the Opus Multiroom System to the mains.

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this guide may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove any covers. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside. Please refer all servicing to an
authorised servicing agent.

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.

Plug Fitting Instructions (UK only)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13A mains plug fitted with a 13A fuse inside. If
it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a 13A one is used. If the plug needs to be changed
because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a
13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the
power cord the wires should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
Connect them as follows:-

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED

The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.

Note - If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) type of plug is used a 13 Amp fuse must
be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.
