Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug fitted
with a 3 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that
a 3 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for
your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of
safely, as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires
should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:

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.

The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.

If your model does not have an earth wire,
then disregard this instruction.

If a standard 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3 amp fuse must be fitted, or if any
other type of plug is used a 3 amp or 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug
or adaptor, or on the distribution board. 

Checking the Power Supply Rating

For your own safety please read the following instructions carefully before
attempting to connect this unit to the mains.

Check that the rear of your unit indicates the correct supply voltage. If your mains
supply voltage is different, consult your dealer.

This unit is designed to operate only on the supply voltage and type that is
indicated on the rear panel of the unit. Connecting to other power sources may
damage the unit.

This equipment must be switched off when not in use and must not be used unless
correctly earthed. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the unit's cover
(or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel. If the power cord is fitted with a moulded mains plug the unit must
not be used if the plastic fuse carrier is not in place. Should you lose the fuse carrier
the correct part must be reordered from your Cambridge Audio dealer.

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated ‘dangerous
voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert

the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance

instructions in the service literature relevant to this appliance.

The crossed-out wheeled bin is the European Union symbol for
indicating separate collection for electrical and electronic
equipment. This product contains electrical and electronic
equipment which should be reused, recycled or recovered and
should not be disposed of with unsorted regular waste. Please
return the unit or contact the authorised dealer from whom you
purchased this product for more information.

and Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336/EEC) Directives
