manual. Touching the equipment’s internal parts could result in severe
personal injury. All other servicing or problems as listed below should be
referred to qualified Consonance service technicians:
• The power supply cord or plug has been damaged

Power Source
The equipment should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in this manual or as marked on the equipment.
Grounding or Polarization
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 amplifier.
Ventilation
The equipment should be situated so that its location or position does not
interfere with its proper ventilation.
1. The equipment must not be placed on bed, sofa, or similar surfaces, that
may block the ventilation openings,
2. The equipment must not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a
bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air.
3. The equipment should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat register, stoves, or other electronic appliances that produce
heat. This equipment is not intended for commercial use.
Water and Moisture
The equipment should not be used near water, e.g., near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool etc. Similarly, do not placed objects filled with liquid, such
as vases on top of the equipment.
Lighting
Consonance hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning. Power amplifiers
are particularly at risk and therefore should be turned off when there is risk
of lightning strike. For complete protection all mains plugs and any aerial
cables should be disconnected when not in use.
Power Lines
In case of connecting a tuner, an outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines. If an outside antenna is connected to the system, be sure
the antenna is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built up of static charges.
Cleaning
Never clean with furniture polish, benzene, or volatile liquids. Dust
periodically with a clean, soft paint brush. Fingerprints can be removed with
a moist polishing cloth.
