Safety Precautions; Installation - Grundig GV 470 S VPT User Manual

1. Installation and Safety Precautions
Additional Information for Units sold
in Great Britain
Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC,
50 Hz mains supply.
In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard
Approved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp
mains plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electri-
cian. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the
plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13
Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted
into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable
plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI ap-
proved BS 1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your
dealer.
If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363)
plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI
approved BS 1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it
must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at
the distribution board.
Do not expose the recorder or the cassette to moisture. The
recorder is intended for use in dry rooms.
If you wish to operate it in the open air, make absolutely sure
that it is protected against moisture (rain, water splashes).
Do not place objects filled with water (vases or similar) on the
recorder. Such objects can fall over and the liquid spilling
into the unit will limit its electrical safety.
Thunderstorms are dangerous for all electrical appliances.
Even when switched off, the recorder can still be damaged
by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial lead.
During a thunderstorm, you should therefore always dis-
connect the mains and aerial plugs.
Caution! Lithium Battery in Video Recorder
Do not tamper with the lithium battery. It can explode.
The battery must only be removed by a specialized dealer
(as described in the "Service Manual").
Important: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your
appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked
with a letter "N" or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to plug terminal
marked with a letter "L" or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected
to the terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol
coloured green or green and yellow.
Replacement mains leads can be obtained from your dealer.
