Philips CD 750 User manual

CD 750 Compact Disc Player

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 mains 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 disposed to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code: BLUE - 'NEUTRAL' ('N') BROWN - ‘LIVE 1 CL')
As these colours may not correspend with the colour
markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.
• The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.
• Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug
which is marked by the letter *E' or by the safety earth
symbol or coloured 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 two wires.
