CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

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

• Remove fuse cover and fuse.

• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

• 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 disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket
elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-dance with the following code:
BLUE – "NEUTRAL" ("N") and BROWN – "LIVE" ("L").
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

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

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

• Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by 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 cordgrip is clamped over the sheath of the lead – not simply
over the two wires.

About MP3

The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG1
Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce the digital data of
an audio CD while maintaining CD quality sound.

• Getting MP3 files: you can either download legal

music files from the internet to your computer hard
disc, or create such files by converting audio CD
files in your computer through appropriate encoder
software. (128kbps bit rate or higher is recom­mended for MP3 files.)

• Creating a MP3 CD: burn the music files from

your computer hard disc on a CDR or CDRW using
your CD burner.

Helpful hints:

– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end

with .mp3.

–

Total number of music files and albums: around 350
(with a typical file name length of 20 characters)

– The length of file names affects the number of

tracks for playback. With shorter file names, more
files can be burned on a disc.
