If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer. CAUTION! IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET. If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician. IMPORTANT The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live. As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.

Replace the fuse and close or attach the fuse cover. Figure A Figure B Placement Set the system up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the system and other components, thereby shorten the system’s service life. Do not hang from or climb on the system. This may result in serious injury. Place the television properly on the system. Use the Fall-prevention band to prevent the television from falling over and causing serious damage or injury. Do not place items heavier than the recommended weight on the system or the shelves. Be careful not to get hit by the protruded TV. When you use a stand with a rotating function, install it so it does not protrude from the top plate of the rack and do not put hands or objects within the rotation range. When you use a stand with a rotating function, install the rack keeping the distance from the wall so the TV does not hit the wall. Do not apply oil on the casters (wheels). Be careful not to catch your fingers when installing the rack. Do not insert your toe into the opening at the bottom of the rack when moving or installing the rack. Voltage Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the system and cause a fire. Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting the system up on a ship or other place where DC is used. AC mains lead protection Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause a fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place the system on the lead. Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Do not move the system if AC mains lead is still connected to socket outlet. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause electric shock. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock. Remove AC mains plug from socket outlet when not using for a long period. Foreign matter Do not let metal objects fall inside the system. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. Do not let liquids get into the system. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the system from the AC mains lead and contact your dealer.
