Connecting the Mains Lead
The Amstrad disc drive operates from a 220-240V ~50Hz Mains Supply.
The Mains Lead is fitted at the rear of the unit. Fit a proper Mains Plug to the Mains
Lead. If a 13 Amp (BS1363) Plug is used, a 3 Amp fuse must be fitted. The 13 Amp
Fuse supplied in a new Plug must NOT be used. If any other type of Plug is used, a 5
Amp Fuse must be fitted either in the Plug or Adaptor or at the Distribution Board.
