How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue =
neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
•
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or colored black.
•
Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or colored red.
•
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked
E (or ) or colored green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped
over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

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.
