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.
