This product is designed and manufactured to meet
strict quality and safety standards. However, you should
be aware of the following installation and operation
precautions.
1. Follow all instructions
You should read all the safety and operating instructions
before operating this equipment. Retain this handbook
for future reference and adhere to all warnings in the
handbook or on the equipment.
2. Water and moisture
The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous.
Do not use the equipment near water – for example next
to a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement
or near a swimming pool, etc.
3. Object or liquid entry
Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not
spilled into the enclosure through any openings. Liquid-
filled objects such as vases should not be placed on the
equipment.
4. Lifting and placing the equipment
This amplifier weighs 37.2kg, so take extreme care when
lifting or moving this unit. We recommend that two
people are available to lift this unit.
Only use a rack or shelf that is stable and strong enough
to support the weight of this equipment.
5. Ventilation
Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or
similar soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or
cabinet, since ventilation may be impeded.
Keep a minimum of 5cm (2 inches) clear around the
apparatus to allow sufficient passage of air.
6. Heat
Locate the equipment away from naked flames or heat-
producing appliances such as radiators, stoves or other
appliances that produce heat.
7. Climate
The equipment has been designed for use in moderate
climates and in domestic situations. Unplug this
equipment during lightning storms to prevent possible
damage from a strike or mains surge.
8. Cleaning
Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use chemical solvents for cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or
polishes as they can cause permanent white marks.
9. Grounding
Ensure that the unit is grounded (‘earthed’) properly at
all times
10. Power sources
Only connect the equipment to a power supply of
the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the equipment.
The primary method of isolating the equipment from
the mains supply is to remove the mains plug. The
equipment must be installed in a manner that makes
disconnection possible.
11. Power-cord protection
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. Pay particular attention to the point
where they exit from the equipment.
12. Non-use periods
If the equipment is not being used for an extended
period, we recommend that you unplug the power cord
of the equipment from the outlet, to save power.
13. Abnormal smell
If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the
equipment, turn the power off immediately and unplug
the equipment from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer
and do not reconnect the equipment.
14. Servicing
You should not attempt to service the equipment.
Contact your dealer to arrange servicing.
15. Damage requiring service
The equipment should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when:
A. the power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged, or
B. objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the
equipment, or
C. the equipment has been exposed to rain, or
D. the equipment does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance, or
E. the equipment has been dropped or the enclosure
damaged.
Safety compliance
This equipment has been designed to meet the IEC/EN
60065 international electrical safety standard.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Many of these items are common sense precautions but, for your own safety and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, you must read them.
Warning
Mains plug/appliance coupler is used to disconnect
device and it shall remain readily operable.
CLASS I construction shall be connected to a MAINS
socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. e wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be 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
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
CAUTION: In Canada and the USA, to prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot in the
socket and insert the plug fully into the socket.
