Philips AE2790 Operation & User’s Manual

Mains plug This apparatus is fitted with an approved 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 3 Amp, 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 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 3 Amp. Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings iden- tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: • 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). 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.

information • Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface so that the system does not tilt. • Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight. • The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip- ping or splashing. • Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of 15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up. • Do not cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur- tains, etc. • No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. • No naked flame sources, such as lighted can- dles, should be placed on the apparatus. • The mechanical parts of the set contain self- lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated. • To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammo- nia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm the housing. • Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. • Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. Safety & Maintenance (See 5) Hearing Safety Listen at a moderate volume. • Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. • Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there. To establish a safe volume level: • Set your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. Listen for reasonable periods of time: • Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss. • Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks. Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. • Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time. • Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts. • Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you. • You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. • Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

• Remedy No sound /power – Volume not adjusted • Adjust the VOLUME. – Power cord not securely connected • Connect the AC power cord properly – Batteries dead/ incorrectly inserted • Insert (fresh) batteries correctly – Headphones connected to the set • Disconnect headphones. Poor radio reception – Weak radio signal • For FM, extend, incline and turn the telescopic antenna for best reception. Reduce its length if the signal is too strong. • For MW, the set uses a built-in antenna. Direct this antenna for best reception by turning the whole set. Display does not function properly / No reaction to operation of any of the controls – Electrostatic discharge • Switch off and unplug the set. Reconnect after a few seconds.
