UNPACKING THE PERSEUS POWER PREAMPLIFIER

Tools required: none

WARNING - This preamplifier uses voltages that could cause injury or
death. Never open the preamplifier while it is plugged in, and always
wait at least one hour after turning the unit off to unplug and open the
unit. Lethal voltages can remain in the electronics after the unit is
unplugged.

The Perseus preamplifier has been painstakingly inspected for cosmetic flaws
during and after assembly. In order not to damage the cosmetic appearance of
your preamplifier it is important that you follow the unpacking instructions
carefully.

1. Remove the small corrugated tube containing the power cord, and remote.

2. Carefully lift the preamplifier out of the box, and remove the foam pads and

plastic bag.

3. The Perseus can be used either with or without the tube cage. To remove the

tube cage, first unscrew 10 cover screws. Lift the cover off, and remove the 4
nuts holding the tube cage in place. Replace the cover prior to use.

4. Save the packing materials. The packing materials and box have been

carefully designed to protect your valuable equipment during shipping so you
don’t want to throw them away.
