Electrical information

❖ Mains plug and its fuse

The supplied mains plug may be a non-rewireable type or a rewireable
type. Both types contain an approved 3A fuse. If you need to replace
the fuse, you must use an ASTA- or BSI-approved BS1362 fuse, rated
at 3A and marked:
The non-rewireable plug has its fuse beneath
a fuse cover on its face. Use a screwdriver
to lever off the fuse cover, replace the fuse
with a new one and refit its cover. Never
use a plug if its fuse cover is missing.
The fuse is inside the rewireable plug. Use
a screwdriver to remove the plug's back
cover, then lever out the fuse and replace it
with a new one. Replace the plug's back
cover.
If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your mains socket-outlet,
remove its fuse and then cut the plug off the lead. Destroy the
severed plug immediately to avoid the shock hazard which would exist
if this were to be plugged into a mains socket.
Fit an appropriate mains plug on the lead. If this plug contains a fuse,
it should be as described above. If you are using a non-fused plug, an
external fuse must not exceed 5A.

❖ Connecting to the mains supply

Your Sky+ set top box operates with 230 Volts AC, 50Hz mains
supplies. Do not connect it to a DC power supply.
The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a mains
plug at the other. Insert the 2-way connector into your Sky+ set top
box before you insert the plug into the mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your Sky+ set top box from the mains is
to remove the mains lead. Your Sky+ set top box must therefore be
installed near to the mains socket-outlet, which should be easily
accessible.
For information about the mains plug and its fuse, see above.
If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection,
consult a competent electrician.
