SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 uninsulated ‘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.

This product complies with European Low Voltage
(73/23/EEC) and Electromagnetic Compatibility
(89/336/EEC) Directives when used according to this
instruction manual. For continued compliance only
Cambridge Audio accessories should be used with this
product and servicing must be referred to qualified service
personnel.

PLUG FITTING INSTRUCTIONS (UK ONLY)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13A mains
plug fitted with a 3A fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it
is important that a 3A 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 13A 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.

NOTE: 

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

instruction. 

If a 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.
