Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high
humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other
components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life. Do not place heavy items on the
unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and cause a re.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting the unit up on
a ship or other place where DC is used.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor connection

and lead damage can cause re or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy

items on the lead.

Grasp the plug rmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause

electric shock. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this
occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain ammable gases which

can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators fail to
light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not covered in these instructions
occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized
service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired,

disassembled or reconstructed by unqualied persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it is not to be
used for a long time.

Caution for AC Mains Lead

the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that
it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on
the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must

ensure that it is retted when the fuse is replaced.

If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until
a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your
local dealer.

CAUTION!

If a new plug is to be tted please observe the wiring

code as stated below.

If in any doubt please consult a qualied electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
