AC MAINS SUPPLY

Your Caspian CD Player is set to operate from a fixed supply voltage which is marked on a label next to the mains input plug.

Before connecting the mains lead please check that your mains supply corresponds to this label as below:

• 230V Products Voltage Range : 220V – 240V
• 115V Products Voltage Range: 100V – 120V
• 100V Products Voltage Range: 90V – 110V

The mains lead supplied with this product has an IEC mains socket which plugs into the IEC connector on the unit’s rear panel. The other end is normally attached to the appropriate mains plug for your country. In the UK this is the standard UK13A plug.
This plug should ordinarily not be removed from the lead. If you do remove it, please dispose of it safely so that it cannot be plugged into a mains socket whilst in a potentially dangerous condition. We suggest that you obtain from your dealer a complete replacement lead.
Should you move to another area where either the mains voltage or the mains plugs are different from those as supplied with your CD player, please contact the appointed ROKSAN distributor for assistance.
Please observe correct mains polarity at all times.
The CD player mains fuses are located on the rear panel next to the IEC mains connector. These must only be replaced by the fuse type and rating as described on the fuse rating label on the rear panel of the unit.
If the equipment is likely to be unused for some time, unplug it from the mains supply.
This appliance must be earthed. Please ensure that other equipment connected to it is earthed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

LOCATION
Your Caspian CD player should be located in a well ventilated area and kept away from sources of heat, dust, humidity and direct sunlight.
The CD player may be positioned either as a free standing unit or alongside another audio/video product. Never place the CD player on carpet or any surface likely to hinder normal ventilation. Never allow liquids or other objects to fall into the unit.
This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Do not remove any panels or attempt to service it yourself. Unauthorised servicing will void the warranty.
