NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and
possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or re.
NOTICE!
Magnetic elds
The device generates strong magnetic elds that can interfere with the function
of poorly shielded devices. The strongest magnetic elds are directly above and
below the power amplier. Therefore, never place sensitive devices such as pre-
ampliers, radio transmission systems, or tape decks directly above or below the
power amplier. When installing the power amplier into a rack, you should place
it in the lowest position, and further equipment such as pre-ampliers in the
highest position.
