Mains plug
Observer: Nettbryteren er
sekundert innkoplet. Den innebygde
netdelen er derfor ikke frakoplet
nettet så lenge apparatet er
tilsluttet nettkontakten.
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13-
Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of
plug, proceed as follows:
1
2
Remove fuse cover and fuse.
Fix the new fuse which should be a BS1362 5-
Amp,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug should be fitted in its place.
For å redusere faren for brann eller
elektrisk støt, skal apparatet ikke
utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.
3
If the mains plug contains a fuse, it should have
a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is
used, the fuse at the distribution board should
not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note:The severed plug must be disposed, so as
to avoid a possible shock hazard due to it being
inserted into another 13-Amp socket.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are colored using
the following codes: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
●
As these colors may not correspond with
the color markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
–
–
–
Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or colored black.
Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or colored red.
Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
colored green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead and not simply over the two
wires.

15.Troubleshooting
WARNING
Never try to repair the system yourself as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the
system as there is a risk of electric shock.
If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are
unable to resolve a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or Philips for help.
Problem
Solution
✔ Check that you have placed the Center and
Station side by side on a flat and firm surface.
✔ Check that you have connected the Center to
the power supply.
During the first-time setup, the display
on the Station shows “Searching for
Center”.
✔ When adding a new station, check that the
center is in Installation mode (see 11.1
Network setting:Adding Additional Station
to the Wi-Fi network on the Center).
✔ Turn off the wireless Access Point nearby if you
encounter difficulty connecting the Center and
Station.
I get interference on my wireless (Wi-Fi)
link between the Center and Station.
The WACS7000 operates in the 2.4GHz radio
frequency spectrum. Many other household/IT
devices also operate in this frequency spectrum,
for example: microwave ovens, Dect phones,
bluetooth devices like bluetooth headphones,
computer mouse, wireless routers, cordless
phones,Wi-Fi compatible printers, PDAs.These
devices can interfere with the Wi-Fi link

the Center has been changed from Ad-Hoc to
Infrastructure mode, also check that the SSID,
WEP key or WPA key matches the setup of
your wireless home network. Please do the

WACS7000 supports wireless and wired
connection at the same time.There is a chance
that your wireless IP address and wired IP
address are on the same subnet and this will
confuse WACS7000. Suggest to change the

the wireless IP received by WACS7000 is on a
different subnet from its wired IP.
