5. All operating instructions should be followed

6. This product should not be used near water, i.e. a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.

7. This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built up enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air.

8. This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier.

9. Connect only to a power supply of the type marker on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

10. Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord.

11. Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at the plug and the point where the chord exits the unit.

12. The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.

13. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

14. The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction

with this unit thus making it readily operable.

15. Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp cloth or ammonia based household cleaner if necessary. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

16. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any ventilation holes or openings. On no account place drinks on the unit.

18. The user should not attempt to service the equipment. All service work is done by a qualified service technician.

19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing gloss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposure.

Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, slow response

8 90 6 92 4 95 3 97 2 100 1 ½ 102 1 105 ½ 110 ¼ or less 115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

Laney products are designed with ease of operation as a primary objective, however to ensure you derive the best from your new PA, it is important you take time to read this user manual and to familiarise yourself with the control functions and facilities available.

When you first receive your Laney CX / CX-A cabinet, follow these simple procedures:

(i) Ensure that the amplifier is the correct voltage for the country it is to be used in. (ii) Make all connections with a high quality shielded cable. You have probably spent considerable money on your PA system

- don’t use cheap cable, it won’t do your gear justice .

UNPACKING

On unpacking your CX/CX-A product please check carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred whilst in transit from the Laney factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event that there has been damage please repack your unit in its original carton and consult your dealer.

We would strongly advise you to store away your original transit carton since in the unlikely event that some time in the future your unit should develop a fault, you will be able to return it to your dealer for rectification securely packed.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON

After unpacking your amplifier check that it is factory fitted with a three pin 'grounded' (or earthed) plug. Before plugging into the power supply ensure you are connecting to a grounded earth outlet.

If you should wish to change the factory fitted plug yourself, ensure that the wiring convention applicable to the country where the amplifier is to be used is strictly conformed to. As an example in the United Kingdom the cable colour code for connections are as follows.

EARTH OR GROUND - GREEN/YELLOW NEUTRAL - BLUE LIVE - BROWN
