General
Fuse
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. It is recommended
that the FM band be used wherever possible as better results in terms
of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than
on the MW or LW bands.
This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug
(BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be fitted in the
plug, adaptorordistributionboard.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Mainssupply
The CR987 will operate from a supply of AC 230volts, 50Hz
only.
Back-up Battery
For your convenience this product is supplied with a plug which is fitted
with a fuse of the appropriate rating. If the plug supplied is not suitable
for your socket outlet, it should be removed by unscrewing the plug top,
the terminal screws, and removing the cable.
