The supplied mains plug may be a non-rewireable type or a rewireable type. Both types
contain an approved 3A fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use an ASTA or BSI approved
BS 1362 fuse, rated at 3A and marked with either of these symbols. Non-rewireable plugs have
the fuse beneath a fuse cover on the plug 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.
Rewireable plugs have the fuse inside. 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.
Your Sky box operates with 230V AC, 50 Hz mains supply. 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 take
the plug out of the socket. Your Sky box must therefore be installed near 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.
