Allow only an AKAI professional dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or
reassemble the U400. Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers might touch
live internal parts and receive a serious electrical shock.
·
Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects, into the U400.

Make sure that the unit is well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight.
·
To avoid damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the U400 away from
sources of direct heat (stoves, radiators, etc.).
·
Avoid using aerosol insecticides, etc. near the U400. They may damage the surface, and may
ignite.

make sure the equipment is used properly. Avoid setting up the U400 in the following
locations:
1. In a humid or dusty environment
2. In a room with poor ventilation

IMPORTANT
(for U.K. customers only)
This equipment is fitted with an approved converter plug.
To change the fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1) Remove the fuse cover and old fuse.
2) Fit a new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3) Refit the fuse cover.
If the AC mains plug fitted to the lead supplied with this equipment is not suitable for your type of
AC outlet sockets, it should be changed to an AC mains lead, complete with moulded plug of the
appropriate type.
If this is not possible, the plug should be cut off and a correct one fitted to suit the AC outlet. This
should be fused at 5 Amps.
If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
PLEASE NOTE: THE SEVERED PLUG MUST BE DESTROYED TO AVOID A POSSIBLE
SHOCK HAZARD SHOULD IT BE INSERTED INTO A 13 AMP SOCKET
ELSEWHERE.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE
--NEUTRAL
BROWN --LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, please proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter L or coloured RED.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY WIRE TO THE PIN MARKED E OR
OR COLOURED GREEN
OR YELLOW & GREEN WHEN WIRING THE PLUG.
Ensure that all the terminals are securely tightened and no loose strands of wire exist.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain the cord grip is clamped over the outer sheath of
the lead and not simply over the wires.
