Battery supply
• Open the battery compartment (fig. 2) and insert as indicated
six batteries, type R20, UM1 or D-cells.

again for a long period.
The battery supply is switched off when the set is connected to
the mains. To change over to battery supply, pull out the plug
from the MAINS socket.
Mains supply
• Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (on the
base of the set) corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it
does not, consult your dealer or service organisation.
If the set is equipped with a VOL TAGE SELECTOR (fig. 3), set this
selector to the local mains voltage.
• Connect the mains lead to the MAINS socket (fig. 3) and the
wall socket. The mains supply is switched on.
• To disconnect the set from the mains completely, withdraw
the mains plug from the wall socket.
Important notes for users in the U.K.:
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse m this type of plug proceed as follows:
• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
• Fix new fuse (5 Amp) which should be a BS1362, A.S.T.A, or
BSI approved type
• Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted 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 distri­
bution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note:. The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket else­
where
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mams 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 coloured
black
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or
coloured red,
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug,
marked E (or +) or coloured 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
