GENERAL ADVICE
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS & USER INFORMATION
This new A5.5 is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is
necessary to observe a few precautions:
Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.
Only connect the A5.5 power supply to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the
unit.
Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains supply is switched
off.
Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by items
placed on them.
Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the A5.5, for example, a flower vase or potted plants.
If water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket and inform your
dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into the A5.5 is dangerous,
and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.
Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment.
Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal adjustments or fuses you
can replace yourself. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.
Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim.
Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may
harm the surface finish.
The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by
lightning. For protection of the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs and disconnect any
aerial lead.
If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the A5.5 please quote the serial number located on the rear
panel of the unit.
