BEFORE YOUR INITIAL START-UP!

Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Your shipment includes:

•Dap Audio Palladium with IEC Powercable 1,5m

•User manual

CAUTION!

Keep this device away from rain and moisture!

Unplug mains lead before opening the housing!

Safety Instructions

Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:

-be qualified

-follow the instructions of this manual

CAUTION! Be careful with your operations. With a dangerous voltage you can suffer

a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!

Before your initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the device.

To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.

Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to warranty.

This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only.

IMPORTANT:

The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the nonobservance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device.

Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution!

Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.

Never use anything to cover the ground contact.

Never leave any cables lying around.

Do not open the device and do not modify the device.

Do not insert objects into air vents

Do not connect this device to a dimmerpack.

Do not switch the device on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.

Do not touch the device’s housing bare-handed during its operation (housing becomes very hot). Allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before handling.

Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

Only use device indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquids.

Only operate the fixture after having checked that the housing is firmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.

Only operate the device after having familiarized with its functions.

Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.

Always disconnect power from the mains, when device is not used or before cleaning! Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.

Make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust.

Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.

Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the device and the powercord from time to time.

Make sure that there is sufficient room on all sides of the system for air circulation.

Make sure you don’t use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.

Make sure that signals into the mixer are balanced, otherwise hum could be created.

Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!

Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power cord or signal cable.

Make sure that the amplifier is turned down, before turning the power on or off. So you can avoid supersonic frequencies, which could damage your speakers.

Don't put your equipment next to TV, radio, etc., because of interference or distortion.

If you connect other parts of the system, be careful of ground loops.

The best way to avoid ground loops is connecting the electrical system ground to one central point ("star" system). In this case the mixer can act as a central point.

To prevent humming, please try different combinations of ground-lift or connect all chassis to the system ground, either by a power cable or frontcover rack screws.

Before changing the ground, always turn off your amplifier.

Please read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference. Remember that the amplifier has a better value on the market, if you save the carton and all packing materials.

Prevent distortion! Make sure that all components connected to the Palladium have sufficient power ratings. Otherwise distortion will be generated because the components are operated at their limits.

If device is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified engineer inspect for safety before operating.

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your Dap Audio dealer for service.

Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses.

Allow time to cool down, before cleaning or servicing.

For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
