CONNECTING TO THE MAINS
This VCR is suitable only for connection to UK 
mains. The unit is fitted with a moulded 3-pin 
mains plug with a 3-amp fuse.  The VCR does not 
have a mains power switch.  When connected 
to the mains, the unit will draw current at all 
times to power the clock.  Be sure to unplug the 
VCR when it is not to be used for several months.
TO REPLACE THE FUSE:
You must use a 3-amp fuse, marked 
(ASTA) or 
 (BSI) to BS-1362.  Remove the fuse 
cover as shown.  Replace the fuse and re-fit the fuse cover securely into the plug.
 
 
 Never connect the plug to the
             mains without the fuse cover
             fitted.
TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG:
If the plug fitted is unsuitable for the mains socket in your home, cut off the plug, remove the 
fuse and dispose of the cut-off plug safely.
The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as follows: blue = neutral, brown = live. 
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the terminals in your plug, connect the 
wires following plug manufacturer's guide: 
blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black or blue. 
brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red or brown.
Severe electric shock may occur if you connect the cut-off 
plug to a mains socket.  If a new plug is fitted, observe the 
wiring code supplied by the plug manufacturer (and given 
below.)  If you have any doubt, consult a qualified 
electrician.
Ensure neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected 
to the earth terminal in your plug.
Do not allow water to come into contact with the power 
supply cord or plug.
A damaged power supply cord or loose plug may cause 
electric shock.
Contact your SHARP dealer or a qualified electrician.  Do 
not use the VCR.
