Fuse
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or
splashing) or to temperatures exceeding 70 degrees centigrade. 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 band.
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, adaptor or distribution board.
