Important Precautions
This symbol is used
to alert the operator to follow important operating procedures and precautions detailed in
documentation.
This symbol is used
to warn operators
that uninsulated
"dangerous voltages" are present
within the equipment enclosure that
may pose a risk of
electric shock.
1. Save the carton and
packing material
even if the equipment has arrived in
good condition.
Should you ever need to
ship the unit, use only
the original factory
packing.
2. Read all documenta-
tion before operating
your equipment.
Retain all documentation for future reference.
3. Follow all instructions
printed on unit chassis for proper operation.
4. Do not spill water or
other liquids into or
on the unit, or operate the unit while
standing in liquid.
5. Make sure power
outlets conform to
the power requirements listed on the
back of the unit.
6. Do not use the unit if
the electrical power
cord is frayed or
broken. The power
supply cords should be
routed so that they are
not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items
placed upon or against
them, paying particular
attention to cords and
plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the
point where they exit
from the appliance.
7. Always operate the
unit with the AC
ground wire connected to the electrical
system ground.
Precautions should be
taken so that the means
of grounding of a piece
of equipment is not
defeated.
8. Mains voltage must
be correct and the
same as that printed
on the rear of the
unit. Damage caused by
connection to improper
AC voltage is not covered by any warranty.
9. Have gain controls on
amplifiers turned
down during powerup to prevent speaker
damage if there are high
signal levels at the
inputs.
10. Power down &
disconnect units
from mains voltage
before making connections.
11. Do not use the unit
near stoves, heat
registers, radiators,
or other heat producing devices.
12. Do not block intake
or exhaust ports. Do
not operate equipment
on a surface or in an
environment which may
impede the normal flow
or air around the unit,
such as a bed, rug,
weathersheet, carpet, or
completely enclosed
rack. If the unit is used
in an extremely dusty or
smoky environment, the
unit should be periodically "blown free" of
foreign matter.
13. Do not remove the
cover. Removing the
cover will expose you to
potentially dangerous
voltages. There are no
user serviceable parts
inside.
14. Connecting ampli-
fier outputs to oscilliscopes or other test
equipment while the
amplifier is in bridged mode may damage
both the amplifier and
test equipment.
15. Do not drive the inputs
with a signal level greater than that required to
drive equipment to full
output.
16. Do not connect the
inputs/outputs of
amplifiers or consoles to any other voltage source, such as a
battery, mains source, or
power supply, regardless
of whether the amplifier
or console is turned on
or off.
17. Do not run the out-
put of any amplifier
channel back into
another channel's
input. Do not parallel-or series-connect
an amplifier output
with any other amplifier output. KIND is
not responsible for
damage to loudspeakers
for any reason.
18. Do not ground any
red ("hot") terminal.
For connection of "hot"
terminals to get parallel
high current mode see
appropriate paragraph.
19. Non-use periods. The
power cord of equipment should be unplugged from the outlet
when left unused for a
long period of time.
20. Service information.
Equipment should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord
or the plug has been
damaged;
B. Objects have fallen, or
liquid has been spilled
into the equipment;
C. The equipment has
been exposed to rain;
D. The equipment does
not appear to operate
normally, or exhibits a
marked change in
performance;
E. The equipment has been
dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
21. To obtain service,
contact your nearest
KIND Service Center,
Distributor, Dealer, or
KIND Audio (Italy).

User Responsibility
SPEAKER DAMAGE
Your amplifier is very
powerful and can be
potentially dange-
rous to both, loudspeakers and humans alike. Many
loudspeakers can be easily damaged or destroyed by overpowering, especially with the high
power available from a bridged
amplifier. Always check the
speakers’ continuous and peak
power capabilities. Even if the
amplifier’s front panel attenuators can be used to reduce the
gain, it is still possible to reach
full output power if the input
signal level is high enough.
HAZARD OUTPUT
VOLTAGES
Power amplifiers are
capable of producing
hazardous output
voltages (on speaker connector).
To avoid electrical shock, do not
touch any exposed speaker
wiring while the amplifier is operating.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
A sample of this product has
been tested and complies with
the limits for the European
Electro Magnetic Compatibility
(EMC) directive. These limits are

the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the antenna.
•Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
Responsabilità dell’utente
DANNI AGLI ALTOPARLANTI
Questo amplificatore
è estremamente
potente e può essere potenzialmente pericoloso sia
per gli altoparlanti che per l’uomo. La maggior parte degli altoparlanti può danneggiarsi o rompersi facilmente, in particolare a
causa della potenza elevata erogata da un’amplificatore usato a
ponte. Verificare sempre la
potenza di picco e continua degli
altoparlanti. Anche se il guadagno
viene ridotto tramite gli attenuatori sul pannello frontale dell’amplificatore, è ancora possibile raggiungere la massima potenza di
uscita se il livello del segnale in
ingresso è sufficientemente alto.
TENSIONI IN USCI-
TA PERICOLOSE
Gli amplificatori
sono in grado di
generare tensioni di
uscita pericolose (al connettore
degli altoparlanti). Per prevenire
il rischio di scossa elettrica, non
toccare gli eventuali cavi scoperti
degli altoparlanti con l’amplificatore in funzione.
INTERFERENZE RADIO
Un campione di questo prodotto
è stato testato ed omologato in
conformità ai limiti della
Direttiva Compatibilità
Elettromagnetica (EMC). Questi
limiti sono stati definiti per fornire una protezione ragionevole
dalle interferenze pericolose dei
dispositivi elettrici. Questo prodotto utilizza le radiofrequenze
e, qualora non sia installato o utilizzato nel rispetto delle presenti
istruzioni per l’uso, può interferire con altri dispositivi, ad esempio ricevitori radio. Tuttavia, non
è garantito che non si verifichino
interferenze in una particolare
installazione.
Qualora il dispositivo interferisca
con la ricezione di radio o televisione (tale condizione può essere
verificata accendendo e spegnendo il dispositivo), l’utente deve
tentare di eliminare l’interferenza
adottando una o più delle
seguenti misure:
•Riorientare o spostare l’antenna.
•Aumentare la distanza tra dispositivo e ricevitore.
•Collegare il dispositivo ad una
presa posta su un circuito differente rispetto a quella a cui è
collegato il ricevitore.
