The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to  alert  the  user  of 

uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products enclosure, of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk

of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important

operation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the amplifier.

Before operating your MCA Amplifier, read and follow all instructions and warnings! Retain these instructions for

future reference.

CAUTION!

To protect against electrical shock and risk of fire do not expose to rain or moisture and do not use amplifier near

sinks, showers, bathtubs, swimming pools, saunas, in wet basements or near any source of water. Always unplug

before cleaning, and use a damp soft cloth.

To protect against electrical shock do not remove the amplifier cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. If

the unit has been dropped, damaged, exposed to water or does not operate normally, it must be serviced. Refer any

servicing to your Authorized Anthem Dealer, who will return the product to Sonic Frontiers International.

CAUTION!

This amplifier has a polarized electrical plug. To protect against electrical shock do not use with any receptacle, extension

cord or any other outlet unless the metal arms of the plug can be fully inserted so that they are not exposed.

Use only with the AC voltage rating indicated on the rear panel. Do not overload outlets or extension cords, as this

can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Install so that the power cord will not get damaged over time. Unplug the

amplifier when not using it for an extended period of time to prevent damage due to lightning and power surges.

To protect against risk of fire and electric shock, do not allow any liquids or objects to penetrate the amplifier enclosure.
