MAINS SUPPLY
This unit is designed to operate from AC 230~240V 50Hz household mains supply.
This unit is supplied with an approved 13 amp (BS 1363) fused mains plug. When replacing the fuse

If the mains sockets in your home differ or are not suitable for the type of plug supplied, then the plug
should be cut from the mains lead and a suitable type fitted.
WARNING: If the mains plug is cut from the mains lead of this appliance the plug must be destroyed. A
mains plug with bared wires is hazardous if engaged in a mains output line socket.
You must use a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) and fit a 5 amp fuse (BS 1362). If any other type of plug is used
a 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug, adaptor or at the distribution board.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE—NEUTRAL
BROWN—LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of the appliance may not
correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form inside the unit. In
this case, do not operate it for two or three hours.
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When cold water is poured into a glass, for, example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of
the glass. This is called moisture condensation.
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;
• When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place.
• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS;
Plug the AC cord to AC outlet, set the Main Power Switch to ON and leave the unit at the room temperature
until moisture condensation disappears. Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or
three hours.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Open the battery compartment cover.
Install two “AAA/R03/UM-4”
(penlight size) batteries.
Replace the cover.
BATTERY CAUTIONS
• Use two "AAA/R03/UM-4" size penlight batteries for the remote control transmitter.
• The batteries may last approximately one year depending on how much the remote control is used. For best
performance it is recommended batteries be replaced on a yearly basis, or when remote operation becomes
erratic.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control transmitter. Always remove batteries as
soon as they become weak.
EFFECTIVE DISTANCE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
NOTE: •When direct sunlight, an incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp or any other strong light shines on the
remote sensor, the remote operation may be unstable.
•When there is an obstacle between the TV/VTR and the transmitter, the remote control transmitter may
not operate.

mains lead, the clock and all its programmed
setting will remain in the memory for 30 minutes. If
the power failure is longer than 30 minutes you will
have to reset the present time.
Make sure an aerial lead is connected from your
household aerial or cable box (if you subscribe to
a cable service).
