1 Safety instructions
All the safety and operating Instructions should be read and understood before the receiver is operated.
For best results, position your receiver away from radiators or other heat sources. Leave a space of at least 3 cm around the receiver for ventilation making sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
This receiver is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot, humid or damp conditions.
Make sure no objects or fluids enter the housing through the ventilation slots. Should this happen, disconnect your receiver from the mains and consult your retailer.
For cleaning, use a damp chamois leather. Never use any abrasive cloth, sponge or cleaner.
When connecting or disconnecting cables to the receiver always ensure the receiver is disconnected from the mains.
Please wait before connecting your receiver - read on.
Do not disassemble the equipment. There are no user serviceable parts.
Mains connection
Before connecting the receiver to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the rear of the receiver. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.
Important:
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded BS1363 plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fit new 3A fuse that should be a BS1362 ASTA approved type.
3.Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3A.
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 an appropriate socket elsewhere.
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.
2The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal, which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
3Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug that 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 cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.
Please wait before connecting your receiver - read on.
