only. 

It must not be connected to 

D.C.

mains.

Note: The mains lead of the receiver is fitted with a moulded plug. If the mains sockets are not compatible or if for any reason
the plug is removed please follow the directions below.
The moulded plug cannot be rewired and if removed must be disposed of safely. Remove the fuse to make it safer.

Do NOT under any circumstances plug the severed plug into any mains socket as this could result in an electric shock.

The OFF button 

B

 on the remote control and the 

receiver

does not completely disconnect the unit

 from the

mains supply, but switches operating power on and off.

Important!

If the plug is removed, rewire new plug as follows: The wires in the mains plug are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

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:

BLUE 

wire to the terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured black.

BROWN 

wire to the terminal coded L (Live) or coloured red.

Do NOT make any connection to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E
or by the safety symbol 

or coloured green and yellow.

A fused plug must be fitted with a 3A fuse approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 and fuse
covers must always be securely replaced.

If the fuse blows, check the mains cable for damage or call a qualified technician. Do not
try to bridge the fuse or increase its rating!
