This VCR is suitable only for connection to UK mains. The unit is fitted with a moulded 3-pin mains plug with a 3-amp fuse. The VCR does not have a mains power switch. When connected to the mains, the unit will draw current at all times to power the clock. Be sure to unplug the VCR when it is not to be used for several months.

TO REPLACE THE FUSE:

 

 

 

 

You must use a 3-amp fuse, marked ASA (ASTA) or

(BSI) to BS-1362. Remove the fuse

cover as shown. Replace the fuse and re-fit the fuse cover securely into the plug.

Never connect the plug to the mains without the fuse cover fitted.

TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG:

If the plug fitted is unsuitable for the mains socket in your home, cut off the plug, remove the fuse and dispose of the cut-off plug safely.

Severe electric shock may occur if you connect the cut-off plug to a mains socket. If a new plug is fitted, observe the wiring code supplied by the plug manufacturer (and given below.) If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as follows: blue = neutral, brown = live.

As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the terminals in your plug, connect the wires following plug manufacturer's guide:

blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black or blue.

brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red or brown.

Ensure neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected

to the earth terminal in your plug.

Do not allow water to come into contact with the power supply cord or plug.

A damaged power supply cord or loose plug may cause electric shock.
