GENERAL ADVICE

Installation, Precautions & User Information

This new M6i 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 M6i 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 M6i, 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 M6i 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.

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the M6i please quote the serial number located on
the rear panel of the unit.
