Safety-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:

a Remove fuse cover and fuse.
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5

Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

c 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
off 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

) or

coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make cer tain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

Using headphones at a high volume can •
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that
may cause hearing loss for a normal
person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are
offered for those that may have already
experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your •
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can
actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

Set your volume control at a low setting. •
Slowly increase the sound until you can •
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

Prolonged exposure to sound, even •
at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment •
reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.

Listen at reasonable volumes for •
reasonable periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as •
your hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that •
you can’t hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily •
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
