1. INSTALLATION

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.

Connecting the cables

1 Insert the aerial plug into the

If you use the auxiliary aerial supplied, push the aerial into the mounting on the back panel until it snaps into place. Pull out the telescopic rod(s) as far as required. Tilt and rotate the aerial until you have got the best picture quality.

socket.

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 terminal 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

or coloured 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.

2 Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.

3 Switch the set on. The power switch

is located on

the left side panel of the set.
