For your own safety read following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this recorder to the mains.
Mains Supply: 230V ~ 50Hz - AC only
This unit is designed to operate on a 230V~50Hz supply only. Connecting it to other power sources may damage it. Ensure that
the supply corresponds to the information on the rating label at the rear of the recorder.
This component system may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug
the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement,
available from the manufacturer, is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the
colour marking on the base of the plug.
If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13A
socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
