Important Safety Instructions
Consignes de sécurité à lire attentivement

This power amplifier can produce dangerous
output voltage, power and sound pressure
levels. In order to minimize the risk of injury,
damage, or hearing loss, please read the entire
owner’s manual.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying the device.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture.

7. Clean only with dry cloth.

8. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

9. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)

10. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has
two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

11. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.

12. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

13. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.

14. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

15. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
