2. INSTALLATION. HOW DO I INSTALL THE TV COMBI?

Important for the United Kingdom

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

Note: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to insert the batteries into the remote control

1 Remove the battery compartment from the back

of the remote control.

2 Insert the batteries as indicated into the battery

compartment.

How to connect a plug:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE - 'NEUTRAL' ('N') BROWN - 'LIVE' ('L')

1 The BLUE wire must be connected to the termi-

nal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.

2 The BROWN wire must be connected to the

terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.

3 Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal

in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or by the safety earth symbol green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead not simply over the two wires.
