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
inserted 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 colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked 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 certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO BROADCASTING (DAB)

DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio via a network of terrestrial transmitters. It
provides listeners with more choice and information delivered in crystal clear, crackle-free sound
quality.

– The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it can find.

–With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned by station

name, so there's no retuning on the move.

What is a multiplex?

Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called a multiplex. Each multiplex
works within a frequency spectrum, such as Band III for DAB broadcasts.

Helpful Hints:

– You will receive only those stations within your transmission area.

DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS

Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and audio data services. Some
programmes are supported by Dynamic Label Segments (DLS). This is data which you can read as
scrolling text on your DAB radio display. Some stations transmit the latest news, travel, and weather,
what's on now and next, website addresses and phone numbers.
For more information on digital radio coverage and services, please visit: www.drdb.org

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Don’t expose the set, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat.

• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

• Place the set on a hard, flat and stable surface so that the system
does not tilt.

• Adequate ventilation with minimum gap of 6 inches between the
ventilation holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to prevent
heat building-up.

• The ventilation should be impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains,
etc..

• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.

• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed
on the apparatus.

• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings
and must not be oiled or lubricated.

• Clean the set with a dry cloth. Don’t use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia,
benzene or abrasives as these may harm the set.
