POwER CORd PRECauTIONs
Your DMS4 Digital Music Server complies with the household
power and safety requirements in your area.
IMPORTANT IF USED IN THE UK:
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
Remove fuse cover and fuse
Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A or
BSI approved type
Refit the fuse cover
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut
off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the power plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5A.
Note:
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the power lead are colored in accordance with the
following code:
The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or colored BLACK
The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter “L” or colored RED
The GREEN/YELLOW-GREEN wire must be connected
to the terminal which is marked by the letter “E” or by the
safety earth symbol
or colored green or green-and-
yellow
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip
is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the three
wires.
