For U.K. customers
IMPORTANT
THE WIRES IN THIS MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter
E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN-
and-YELLOW.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug
supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate
3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described
below.
Note
• The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with
bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
For Canadian customers
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to
wide slot and fully insert.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-
003.

Part Names and Functions
Important
•Bright light, fluorescent light etc. on the remote sensor on the main unit may inhibit the normal functioning of the remote control.
•The remote may not function normally if there is an obstacle blocking the signal between the remote and the remote control sensor
on the main unit.
•The above are approximate figures.

Using the remote control
Use the remote control under the following conditions. The remote control will not function if it is used outside the angles and/or range
detailed here.

Loading the batteries into the remote
control
1.Remove the battery compartment cover from the
back of the remote control.
2.Insert two batteries (AA, UM3, or R6 type), matching
the polarity markings (+, –) on the batteries with
those in the battery compartment.
3.After inserting the batteries, close the cover until it
snaps into place.
Important
•If the remote must be used closer to the main unit than
normal, or does not always operate correctly, exchange the
batteries for new ones.
•Do not mix old and new, or different types of battery.
•Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a
long time.
•If the batteries leak, dispose of them immediately, taking care
not to touch the battery fluid. If the battery fluid comes into
contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, rinse it off with water
immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery compart-
ment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Using the remote as a wired remote
control
To use the remote control as a wired remote control, use a 2P
monaural miniplug to connect the remote control cable jack on the
underside of the remote control to the REMOTE IN jack on the
main unit.
