Electrical information
Mains plug and its fuse
The supplied mains plug may be a non-rewireable type or a rewireable type. Both
types contain an approved 3 A fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use an ASTA- or
BSI-approved BS 1362 fuse, rated at 3 A and marked with either of these symbols:
or
The non-rewireable plug has its fuse beneath a fuse cover on
its face. Use a screwdriver to lever off the fuse cover, replace
the fuse with a new one and refit its cover. Never use a plug if
its fuse cover is missing.
The fuse is inside the rewireable plug. Use a
screwdriver to remove the plug’s back cover, then lever
out the fuse and replace it with a new one. Replace the
plug’s back cover.
If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your
mains socket-outlet, remove its fuse and then cut the plug off the lead. Destroy the
severed plug immediately to avoid the shock hazard which would exist if this were to
be plugged into a mains socket. Do not attempt to repair or modify the mains lead or
plug. Fit an appropriate mains plug on the lead. If this plug contains a fuse, it should
be as described above. If you are using a non-fused plug, an external fuse must not
exceed 5A.
Connecting to the mains supply
Your Sky box operates with 230 Volts AC, 50 Hz mains supplies. Do not connect it to a
DC power supply.
On some models, the supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a
mains plug at the other. Insert the 2-way connector into your Sky box before you
insert the plug into the mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your Sky box from the mains is to remove the mains lead.
Your Sky box must therefore be installed near to the mains socket-outlet, which
should be easily accessible.
If you are in any doubt about anything relating to the mains supply, consult a
competent electrician.
