In some circumstances, depending on where you live and
the earthing arrangements in your home, you may
experience radio frequency interference. Controls on
broadcasting in some territories allow very high levels of
radio frequency radiation and both the choice and exact
siting of equipment may be critical. If there is a known
problem in your locality it is advisable to arrange for a
home demonstration before purchase to find out if Naim
equipment is likely to be affected. Susceptibility to radio
frequency interference is related to the wide internal
bandwidth necessary for high sound quality. Systems
incorporating moving coil phono preamplifiers and active
crossovers are more likely to suffer. A radio frequency filter
kit is available for some Naim equipment but sound quality
will be progressively compromised as more elements of the
kit are fitted. In situations of extreme radio interference
Naim equipment may be unsuitable.
Your Naim hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning. Power
amplifiers are particularly at risk and should be turned off
when there is risk of lightning strike. For complete
protection all mains plugs and any aerial cables should be
disconnected when not in use.
Equipment must not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be
placed on the equipment.
Use of non-standard speaker cables or interconnects may
invalidate your guarantee.
5 Connection
5.1 mains lead
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:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by
the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green
or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.
5.2 non-rewireable mains plugs
If a non-rewireable plug is cut from a mains lead (for
whatever purpose) the plug MUST be disposed of in a way
to render it totally unusable. Considerable shock hazard
exists if the cut-off plug is inserted into a mains outlet.
5.3 fuse carrier
Should the plug fuse carrier be damaged or lost, the
correct replacement must be obtained from your dealer, or
from Naim Audio direct. Do not use the plug until the fuse
carrier is replaced.
5.4 plug fuses
Replace only with ASTA or BS 1362 approved fuses.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the relevant EMC and Safety
Standards, and, where applicable, also complies with the limits for a class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult your Naim dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
