Mains plug
DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITA’
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
Si dichiara che l’apparecchio LX8000SA, LX7000SA
Philips risponde alle prescrizioni dell’art. 2 comma 1 del
D.M. 28 Agosto 1995 n. 548.

Remove fuse cover and fuse.
Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.

Refit the fuse cover.
Philips Consumer Electronics
Philips, Glaslaan 2
5616 JB Eindhoven,The Netherlands
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 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Norge
Typeskilt finnes på apparatens underside.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp
socket elsewhere.
Observer: Nettbryteren er sekundert innkoplet.
Den innebygde netdelen er derfor ikke frakoplet
nettet så lenge apparatet er tilsluttet
nettkontakten.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the
following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
For å redusere faren for brann eller elektrisk støt, skal
apparatet ikke utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.
¶
As these colours may not correspond with the colour
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
DK
Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning når
sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion. Undgå
utsættelse for stråling.
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in
the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green
and yellow).
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært indkoblet og
ofbryder ikke strømmen fra nettet. Den indbyggede
netdel er derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe
netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the
cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not
simply over the two wires.
S
Klass 1 laseraparat
Varning! Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i
denna bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren
utsättas för osynlig laserstrålning, som överskrider
gränsen för laserklass 1.
