ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR UK USERS
The power cord on your subwoofer may be supplied with a plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved
BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the plug is cut off it must
NOT be re-used. Dispose of any such plug safely. There is a danger of
electric shock if a cut-off plug is inserted into a mains socket.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Green and Yellow - Earth: Blue - Neutral: Brown - Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the
markings identifying the terminals in the replacement mains plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal marked with
the letter ‘N’ or coloured Black. The wire
coloured Brown must be connected to
the terminal marked with the letter ‘L’ or
coloured Red. The wire coloured Green
and Yellow must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter ‘E’,or
coloured Green, or Green and Yellow, or
marked with the Earth symbol

In 1932, when Gilbert Briggs founded the Wharfedale Wireless Works, his company was at the leading edge of an
exciting new technology which was dedicated to bringing the pleasure of music and entertainment to a wide range of
people. As the technology advanced Wharfedale gave many music lovers their first taste of High Fidelity, mounting a
series of live sound demonstrations which excited the audio world and heralded the era of the modern hi-fi loudspeaker.
Today Wharfedale still takes the same uncompromising approach to the design and manufacture of every loudspeaker
system, using high quality components and state-of-the-art testing to ensure consistently high performance. And that
means that you can continue to count on the quality of all Wharfedale products.
