1.2 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 note
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 fuse that should be a BS
1362 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 an 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.
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 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.
