Important Precautions

!

This symbol is used to alert the operator to
follow important operating procedures and
precautions detailed in documentation.

This symbol is used to warn operators that
uninsulated "dangerous voltages" are
present within the equipment enclosure
that may pose a risk of electric shock.

1.Save the carton and packing material even if the
equipment has arrived in good condition. Should
you ever need to ship the unit, use only the original
factory packing.

2.Read all documentation before operating your
equipment. Retain all documentation for future
reference.

3.Follow all instructions printed on unit chassis for
proper operation.

4.Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit,
or operate the unit while standing in liquid.

5.Make sure power outlets conform to the power
requirements listed on the back of the unit.

6.Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is
frayed or broken. The 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 appliance.

7.Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire
connected to the electrical system ground.
Precautions should be taken so that the means of
grounding of a piece of equipment is not defeated.

8.Mains voltage must be correct and the same as that
printed on the rear of the unit. Damage caused by
connection to improper AC voltage is not covered
by any warranty.

9.Have gain controls on amplifiers turned down during
power-up to prevent speaker damage if there are
high signal levels at the inputs.

10.Power down & disconnect units from mains

voltage before making connections.

11.Do not turn the power switch on the "ON" position

if you do not use it.

12.Do not use the unit near stoves, heat registers,

radiators, or other heat producing devices.

13.Do not block fan intake or exhaust ports. Do not
operate equipment on a surface or in an
environment which may impede the normal flow of
air around the unit, such as a bed, rug,
weathersheet, carpet, or completely enclosed
rack. If the unit is used in an extremely dusty or
smoky environment, the unit should be periodically
"blown free" of foreign matter.

14.Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover will
expose you to potentially dangerous voltages.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.

15.Connecting amplifier outputs to oscilloscopes or
other test equipment while the amplifier is in
bridged mode may damage both the amplifier and
test equipment!

16.Do not drive the inputs with a signal level greater
than that required to drive equipment to full output.

17.Do not connect the inputs / outputs of amplifiers or
consoles to any other voltage source, such as a
battery, mains source, or power supply, regardless
of whether the amplifier or console is turned on or
off.

18.Do not run the output of any amplifier channel
back into another channel's input. Do not parallel
or series connect an amplifier output with any
other amplifier output.

19.Do not connect any Bridged speaker Output to
ground!

20.Non-use periods. The power cord of equipment
should be unplugged from the outlet when left
unused for a long period of time.

21.Service Information Equipment should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been

damaged.

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

equipment.

C. The equipment has been exposed rain.

D. The equipment does not appear to operate normally,

or exhibits a marked change in performance.

E. The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure

damaged.

22.To obtain service, contact your nearest dealer.
