3) Be sure the H-5000 power supply unit is labeled for the AC voltage of your location. If it
is not, please contact Hammertone Audio.
We advise that you keep the boxes and other packing materials that your H-5000 units came
in. They will be useful if you sell your H-5000, or in the unlikely event you need to ship the
units for service.
SAFETY!!
• BEFORE connecting the H-5000 power supply to the wall outlet, please open the chimneys
ON BOTH THE POWER SUPPLY AND THE PHONO-STAGE and remove the paper and
Styrofoam shipping materials from the tubes; the paper packing materials are installed
only to protect the tubes during shipping. It is optional to remove any O rings from the
tubes. Some customers prefer them on; others off.
• Disconnect power cords by pulling the plug, not the cable.
•
Do not attempt any repairs. Do not remove the units’ chassis covers without specific
authorization from Hammertone Audio.
•
Keep all cables away from heat sources.
•
Ensure there is plenty of free space around and above both the phono-stage and power supply
units.
•
Keep the units away from liquids – do not allow any liquid to enter the interior of the units.
•
When the units are moved from a cold to a warm environment, allow sufficient time for any
condensation to evaporate in both units before plugging the power supply unit into an AC
connection.
•
See the notes on “Location, Location, Location”.
CLEANING
A. Chassis
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth dampened slightly with water only (NO cleaning fluids!) to clean
the faceplate and chassis of the H-5000 and its power supply.
B. Connectors
You may use any good quality contact cleaner recommended for such applications to clean the
contacts from time to time, as you deem appropriate.
INITIAL SET-UP
A. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Like all audio products using tubes, the Allnic Audio H-5000 and its power supply need to be placed
on a solid base that is not subject to vibration or sudden shock, and that provides good air
circulation around, above and below both the phono-stage and the power supply.
• DO NOT cover the tops of the H-5000 phono-stage or power supply tube chimneys.
