Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 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 5 Amp,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
5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it
be inser ted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code:blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).As these colour s may not correspond with the colour markings iden­tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal mar ked N or coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal mar ked L or coloured red.

• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover,make cer tain that the cord gr ip is clamped over the
sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

bly alkaline). (See 9)

IMPORTANT!

• Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte lea­kage and will corrode the compartment or cause
the batteries to burst.

• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon
zinc. Only use batteries of the same type for the
set.

• When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old
batteries with the new ones.

• Batteries contain chemical substances, so

they should be disposed of properly.
