climate).

5.  

Do not install or use your amp in close proximi-
ty to water or if you are wet yourself.

6.  

Do not subject your device to sudden and 
severe temperature changes. This could cause 
moisture condensation inside the unit, which 
could damage it. In the event of moisture 
condensation allow the device to dry out com-
pletely before use.

7.  

Use your amp in a safe place where nobody can 
step on cables or trip over and damage them.

Pay attention to an unhindered air circulation 
around the amp, never obstruct the air vents or 
grilles.

Always pull the mains plug before cleaning 
your amp or when left unused for a long period 
of time. Use only a dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid 
the use of detergents and do not let any liquids 
seep into the unit.

10. 

Use only the right fuses with the same current 
rating and trigger characteristic as replace-
ments. Never mend fuses! Pull the mains plug 
before replacing a fuse. Should a fuse blow 
again after a short while, the device needs to 
be checked.

11.  

Never install your amp close to devices with 
strong electromagnetic fields such as large 
mains transformers, revolving machines, neon 
illumination etc. Do not lay signal cables paral-
lel to power current cables.

12.  

There are no user-serviceable components 
inside the unit. To avoid the risk of an electric 

shock, the unit must not be opened. All main-

tenance, adjustment and repair works should 

be carried out by qualified staff only. Any 

unauthorized tampering will void the 2-year 

warranty.

13.  

In keeping with the EMV regulations screened 

cables with correctly fitted connectors must be 

used for all signal connections.

14.  

Always use an earthed power supply with the 

correct mains voltage. If you are in doubt about 

the power outlet ground, have it checked by a 

qualified technician.

15.  

Cable up your amp only when it is powered off.

16.  

This device should be installed near the socket 

outlet and disconnection of the device should 

be easily accessible. The mains plug of the 

powersupply shall remain readily operable. 

Protect the power cord from being walked on 

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 

receptacles and the point where they exit from 

the apparatus.

17.  

This product may cause permanent hearing 

loss. Do not operate for long periods of time 

at a high volume level or at any level that is 

uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing 

loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult 

an audiologist.
