Safety Precautions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE REAR COVER. NO
USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a
moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is
indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires
replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating
must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover
is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it
must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug.
Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your
house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power
point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved
extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug,
remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do
not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of
shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code: -
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 with the letter N or coloured BLUE or
BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to
the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN
or RED.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE
EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE
LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR
COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
