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.

DANGER

This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage within the product.

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.

IMPORTANT

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.
