If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:–

BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:–

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

About RDS broadcasting

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to receive FM stations

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example,the stations send their station names,as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music,etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service,the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

• Description on RDS function

1. PTY (Program Type) : Displays the type of programme currently being broadcast

2. PS NAME (Program Service Name) : Indicates the name of broadcasting station and is composed of 8 characters.

3. RT (Radio Text) : Decodes the text broadcast by a station (if any) and is composed of maximum 64 characters.

4. CT (Clock Time) : Decodes the real time clock from the FM frequency.

• Some stations may not transmit PTY, RT or CT information therefore this may not be displayed in all cases.

5. TA (Traffic Announcement) : When this symbol flashes it shows that the traffic announcement is in progress.

Note

• RDS is not available for MW/LW broadcasts.

• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting

RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

What information can RDS signals provide?

RT(RadioText) : while searching," RT "appears and then text messages the station sends will be displayed. " NO RT "appears if no signal is sent.

Frequency : station frequency (non-RDS service)

About characters shown in the display

When the display shows PS,or RT signals,the following characters are used.

• The display window cannot differentiate upper case and lower case letters and always uses upper case letters.

• The display window cannot show accented letters, “ A ,” for instance, may stans for accented “ A’s ” like “ À, Â, Ä, Á, Åand Ã .”

Note • If searching finishes at once,“ PS ”,and “ RT ” will not appear on the display.
