PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS CAREFULLY AND
COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MOON 888 POWER AMPLIFIER

1. ALWAYS disconnect your entire system from the AC mains
before connecting or disconnecting any cables, or when
cleaning any component. To completely disconnect this
apparatus from the AC mains, disconnect the power supply
cord plug from the AC receptacle.

2. The MOON 888 must be terminated with a three-conductor
AC mains power cord which includes an earth ground con­nection. To prevent shock hazard, all three connections must
ALWAYS be used. Connect the MOON 888 only to an AC
source of the proper voltage; Both the shipping box and rear
panel serial number label will indicate the correct voltage.
Use of any other voltage will likely damage the unit and void
the warranty

3. AC extension cords are NOT recommended for use with
this product. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall
remain readily accessible.

4. NEVER use flammable or combustible chemicals for cleaning
audio components.

5. NEVER operate the MOON 888 with any covers removed.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. An open unit,
especially if it is still connected to an AC source, presents a
potentially lethal shock hazard. Refer all questions to
authorized service personnel only.

6. NEVER wet the inside of the MOON 888 with any liquid. If a
liquid substance does enter your MOON 888, immediately
disconnect it from the AC mains and take it to your MOON
dealer for a complete check-up.

7. NEVER spill or pour liquids directly onto the MOON 888.

8. NEVER block air flow through ventilation slots or heatsinks.

9. NEVER bypass any fuse.

10. NEVER replace any fuse with a value or type other than those
specified

11. NEVER attempt to repair the MOON 888. If a problem occurs
contact your MOON dealer.

12. NEVER expose the MOON 888 to extremely high or low
temperatures.

13. NEVER operate the MOON 888 in an explosive atmosphere.

14. ALWAYS keep electrical equipment out of reach of children.

15. ALWAYS unplug sensitive electronic equipment during
lightning storms.

16. WARNING: Do not expose batteries or battery pack to exces­sive heat such as sunshine, or fire or the like.
