IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT
BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND THAT OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHALL NOT BE PLACED
ON APPARATUS.

• WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OF SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET
UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

• WARNING: THE MAINS PLUG IS USED AS DISCONNECT DEVICE. THE DISCONNECT DEVICE SHALL REMAIN READILY AVAILABLE.

• WARNING: ONLY USE ATTACHMENTS OR ACCESSORIES SPECIFIED OR PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products’ enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. The ventilation should not be impeded
by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspaper, table­ cloths, curtains etc. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. No open flame
sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

9. 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
third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

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

11. Only use attacheements/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

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

MAGNETIC FIELD: !!CAUTION!! Do not locate sensitive high-gain equipment such as preamplifiers or tape decks directly above or below the unit. Because
this amplifier has a high power density, it has a strong magnetic field, which can induce hum into unshielded devices that are located nearby. The field is
strongest just above and below the unit. If an equipment rack is used, we recommend locating the amplifier(s) in the bottom of the rack and the preamplifier
or other sensitive equipment at the top.

13. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified 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 has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.

15. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and that objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall not be placed on apparatus.

16. WARNING: The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

17. This equipment is a Class II or double insulated electrical appliance. It
is designed in such a way that it does not require a safety connection
to electrical earth.
