WARNINGS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION
Unpacking: All Wharfedale Pro products are fully tested before leaving the factory. After unpacking, please inspect the unit. In the event of any noticed damage due to shipping, contact your dealer and the shipping provider immediately to file a shipping damage claim. Retain the shipping carton and all packaging material in case the unit needs to be returned.
1.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and become familiar with the features and functions of this product before operating it.
2.RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS for future reference.
3.COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this product should be adhered to.
4.USING AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to equipment, it is advisable to establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system. With all system components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up source equipment can damage speakers if amplifiers are turned on. Make sure that amplifier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that all system components be allowed to stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system components.
5.CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.
6.CAUTION – The S Series professional amplifiers are capable of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with operation to avoid exposure to excessive volume levels that can cause permanent hearing damage if operated to extremes.
7.SERVICE – There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users should not attempt to service this product. Potential dangerous voltages and shock hazards are present inside this product. Warranty nullification could result if this is attempted.

1. AC Power Connections
All S-Series power amplifiers are equipped with an internal AC power supply. Connect the appropriate grounded IEC power cable to the power amp BEFORE connecting it to the power outlet.
It is important to allow adequate ventilation to the powered mixer as it may become warm during extended periods of operation.
Each S-Series amp is shipped with the correct power cable for the country in which it is to be used. The S-Series amps are NOT to be used in a country using a different source supply voltage other than for which it is designed. Note the operating voltage shown near the AC power cord jack and ONLY connect this unit to the appropriate AC source voltage.
2. Packing
The packaging has been designed protect the mixer during transit. If any shipping damage has occurred, consult your dealer and the shipping provider.
3. Safety
Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration. Store and operate the power amplifier away from high temperatures or humidity. Also, avoid locations which may be subject to excessive dust and vibration / physical shocks that could cause mechanical damage to the amp.
WARNING: REFER ALL MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL! THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS!
For the protection of the amplifier and other audio equipment, always turn off the power on the amplifier and other system components before connecting or disconnecting audio cables.
