COMPLIANCES

AC Power Cord for the United Kingdom :

This cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of
the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating,
marked thus . If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse
cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red or orange). Fuse
covers are available from the Parts Department indicated in your User Instructions.
If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed.
The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted. (See Over)

WARNING : A PLUG WITH BARED FLEXIBLE CORD IS HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET
OUTLET.

The Wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green-and-yellow ············ Earth
Blue ································· Neutral
Brown ······························ Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the
letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

WARNING : THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

The AC Power Cord supplied with this Plasma Monitor meets the requirement for use in the country you purchased it.

AC Power Cord for the United States and Canada :

AC Power Cord used in the United States and Canada is listed by the Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) and certified by the Canadian Standard Association (CSA).
AC Power Cord has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure that the
plug will fit into the power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature. Should you be
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician.

THE SOCKET-OUTLET SHOULD BE INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
