1. INSTALLATION
Important for the United Kingdom
Connecting the cables
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI
approved type.
3 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
5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5A.

1 Insert the aerial plug into the
socket.
If you use the auxiliary aerial supplied, push the aerial into the
mounting on the back panel until it snaps into place.
Pull out the telescopic rod(s) as far as required. Tilt and rotate
the aerial until you have got the best picture quality.
Note: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket elsewhere.
2 Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.
