2 CAUTION FOR AC CORD

(VJA0940 TYPE)

2.1. INFORMATION FOR YOUR SAFETY

IMPORTANT

Your attention is drawn to the fact that recording of prerecorded tapes or discs or other published or broadcast material may infringe copyright laws.

WARNING

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

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard and annoying interference, use the recommended accessories only.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

DO NOT REMOVE THE OUTER COVER

To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

2.2.1. Important

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

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this applian ce may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

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

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug, marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol.

2.2. CAUTION FOR AC MAINS LEAD

For your safety, please read the following text carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three-pin mains plug for your safety and convenience.

A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amperes and it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362

Check for the ASRA 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 refitted 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 Panasonic Dealer.

2.2.2. Before use

remove the Connector Cover as follows.

2.2.3. How to replace the Fuse

1. Remove the Fuse Cover with a screwdriver.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safety.

There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13-ampere socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below.

If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

2. Replace the fuse and attach the Fuse cover.

3 HOW TO REPLACE THE LITHIUM BATTERY

(PROCEDURE)

1. Remove the Side Case (L) P.C.B.. (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.)

2. Unsolder the Lithium Battery “ML-621S/F9D” and then replace the new one. (See Fig. B1.)

3. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Fig. B1

Note:

The lithium battery is a critical component. (Type No.: ML-621S/F9D Manufactured by Panasonic)

It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge.

It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use.

Replacement batteries must be of the same type and manufacture.

They must be fitted in the same manner and location as the original battery, with the correct polarity contacts observed.

Do not attempt to re-charge the old battery or re-use it for any other purpose.

It should be disposed of in waste products destined for burial rather than incineration.
