CAUTION
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
LASER SAFETY
This unit employs lasers. Only a qualified service person
should remove the cover or attempt to service this device,
due to possible eye injury.
CAUTION
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURE OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN
HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
CE marking (only EU version)
This product is in conformity with the EMC directive
and low-voltage directive.
Equipment mains working system
This product complies with household power and safety
requirements in your area.
IMPORTANT: (For U.K. only)
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.
3 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 distri-
bution board should not be greater than 5A.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid pos-
sible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket
elsewhere.
HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following core:
GREEN−and−YELLOW−"EARTH" ("E")
BLUE−"NEUTRAL" ("N")
BROWN−"LIVE" ("L")
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:
1 The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter "E" or by the earth symbol or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.
2 The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or
coloured BLACK.
3 The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or
coloured RED.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead -- not simply
over the three wires.
