Avoid any contact with liquids. The
DAC212 is not waterproof and is
designed to function in a total dry
environment.

Disconnect the mains power in the
following events:

• When not used for a
prolonged period of time

• When going on holiday or leave

• When the device produces

excessive heat and/
or is too hot to touch

• When the output sound
seems distorted

• When liquids got into contact
with the enclosure

• In case of lightning strikes

• When your family is complaining

you are spending to much
time listing to music while
they need your attention

Caution! Your ears are fragile
and once damaged, the effect is
irreversible. Be aware that (long
term) high listening levels can cause
damage to your ears. Because
the DAC212 has such a clean
undistorted sound, there may be
a tendency to keep increasing the
volume level. Higher listening levels
are often reached unnoticed.
We strongly advice you to initially
set the volume a little lower than
you would normally do. This is
especially the case when using the
high-power headphone output.

Be sure you connect the DAC212
to a 3 pin earthed mains power
connection. If this is not available

pleasecontactyourlocalcertied

electrician to modify your mains
outlets.

IMPORTANT USAGE INFORMATION

15

The DAC212 will work with a mains
voltage from 90 to 260VAC. Be sure
your mains connection is within this
range.

Only use high quality audio
interconnect cables between the
DAC212 and your other equipment.

When connected to a power

amplier,checkthevolumesetting

before you start playing music. By
default the DAC212 is set to be on
the safe side, start at a setting of

-40dB or lower and slowly turn the
volume up.
