heaters or direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation and airflow

• We also warn against exposure of the preamplifier to conditions such as very low

temperatures and/or high humidity.

• The preamplifier should be plugged directly into a wall socket. If you must use an

extension cord, please make sure that it has load parameters sufficient to ensure
proper handling of current delivery to the device.

• When cleaning, always disconnect the Sagita from the power source. Use a dry, soft

cloth. Do not use water or cleaning agents.

• If your preamplifier starts to misbehave or to work incorrectly, if it’s temperature

gets too high or you start feeling smoke - immediately disconnect the device from the
mains.

• Due to the risk of exposure to high voltages – please do not open the lid of the

amplifier. ATTENTION: This warning remains in force also in a situation where the
device is already disconnected from the wall outlet.

• Always replace fuses in accordance with the original, intended specification.

• Do not make repairs on your own, or adjustments beyond those as described in this

manual. Execution of any unauthorized repairs or modifications of the device result in
a loss of warranty.
