PROTECTING YOURSELF AND THE RE32
· Never touch the AC plug with wet hands.
· Always disconnect the RE32 from the power supply by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
· Allow only an AKAI professional dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or reas-
semble the RE32. Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers might touch live
internal parts and receive a serious electric shock.
· Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects, into the RE32.
· Use only a household AC power supply. Never use a DC power supply.
· If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the RE32, disconnect the power, and call your
dealer.
· 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 RE32 away from
sources of direct heat (stoves, radiators, etc.).
· Avoid using aerosol insecticides, etc. near the RE32. They may damage the surface, and may
ignite.
· Do not use denaturated alcohol, thinner or similar chemicals to clean the RE32. They will
damage the finish.
· Modification of this equipment is dangerous, and can result in the functions of the RE32 being
impaired. Never attempt to modify the equipment in any way.
· In order to assure optimum performance of your RE32, select the setup location carefully, and
make sure the equipment is used properly. Avoid setting up the RE32 in the following locations:
1. In a humid or dusty environment
2. In a room with poor ventilation
3. On a surface which is not horizontal
4. Inside a vehicle such as a car, where it will be subject to vibration
5. In an extremely hot or cold environment

WARNING
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
This equipment is fitted with an approved non-rewireable UK mains 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, to 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:
GREEN and YELLOW
-- EARTH
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 GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter E or with the safety earth symbol
or
coloured GREEN or coloured GREEN and YELLOW.
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.
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
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.
