The lightning flash with an 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 product.

Check that the voltage rating displayed on the rear panel is correct for your area before connecting. If it is incorrect, set with the voltage selection switch, ensuring protective cover is replaced and the appropriate fuse used (see specification).

EUROPEAN MODELS

A mains cable is supplied with an IEC moulded socket at one end and a moulded mains plug at the other end. Where the moulded plug is fitted with a mains fuse, always replace with the same 5A rated fuse.

If the fitted plug is unsuitable for your type of outlet sockets, it should be cut off and disposed of safely, in case it is inserted into a live socket elsewhere. The wires in the mains cable 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 CABLE 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 either by the letter E, the earth safety 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 by the letter N or coloured BLACK.

•The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter L or coloured RED.

•Ensure that the terminals are tightened securely, and no loose strands of wire are present.

•Ensure cord grip is clamped over outer sheath of cable, rather than over the wires.

FUSE PROTECTION

An additional mains fuse is provided in the IEC power inlet on the back of the subwoofer, which can only be removed with the power cord unplugged. This must be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating (see Specifications or refer to rear panel).
