V/240 V) voltage selector switch is provided.

HP model:
For Australia I'HP' stamped on packing case): A 2-point
(220 V/240 V) voltage selector switch is provided.

KUT and KCT models:
For U.S.A. and Canada ('KUT or 'KCT' stamped on pack-

The line voltage selector switch is located on the top of the
cabinet of this turntable. Before your turntable is shipped from
the factory, the switch is set to the power requirements of the
turntable's destination. Check that it is set properly before
plugging the power cord into the outlet. If the voltage is not
properly set or if you move to an area where the voltage re-
quirements differ, adjust the selectoror switch as follows:

0 Provide yourself with a medium-sized screwdriver. Insert
the tip of the screwdriver into the groove of the selector
switch and turn it so that the power voltage marking of
your area points to the arrow.

Code, ANSI/NEPA No. 701ml, provides informa-
tion with respect to proper grOundig of the mast
and supporting structure. grounding of the lead-in
