General

Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. Do not leave the unit where excessive heat could cause damage. It is recommended that the FM band be used wherever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the MW band.

Mains supply

The SRCD970 will operate from a supply of AC 230 volts, 50Hz only.

For your convenience this product is supplied with a plug which is fitted with a fuse of the appropriate rating. If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be removed by unscrewing the plug top, the terminal screws, and removing the cable.

The correct style of plug to suit your household together with a correctly rated fuse should be fitted.

IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any connection to the larger terminal which is marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured Green or Green-and-yellow.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes :-

BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured RED.

Fuse

This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug (BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be fitted in the plug, adaptor or distribution board.

IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Batteries

Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the catches in the direction of the arrows. Insert eight IEC size LR20 batteries (D size) into the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.

Reduced power, distortion, and a 'stuttering' sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.

We would recommend for economy, that the SRCD970 is used on the mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only.

Automatic Mains/Battery switching

To change from battery to mains operation, simply plug the mains lead into the mains input socket on the rear of the unit. The batteries will be automatically disconnected. It does not matter which way round the plug is inserted but make sure it is fully pushed home. The other end should be plugged into a domestic supply socket.
