Mains plug
This apparatus is fi tted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:
a Remove fuse cover and fuse.
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5
Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
c Refi t the fuse cover.
If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fi tted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board should
not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed off
to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown
= live (L).

Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
Using headphones at a high volume can •
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute. The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your •
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting. •
Slowly increase the sound until you can •
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at •
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing
loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably •
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
Listen at reasonable volumes for •
reasonable periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your •
hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that •
you can’t hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily •
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffi c
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
