Mains connection
The mains power input is on the back panel of the HUMBOLDT. Use the
included power cord to connect the unit to mains. If you prefer to use a different
power cord, make sure that it meets the specifications for your home country.
Important
The electrical specifications of your home country must meet the electrical
specifications printed onto the back panel.
The HUMBOLDT is a Class I unit and must be earthed. Please ensure a stable
earth connection. The phase ('hot' pin) is marked on the back panel ('PHASE')
.
Never pull the mains plug while the HUMBOLDT is switched on! Before you
pull the power cord off its socket at the back panel, power down the unit to
stand-by mode first.
The HUMBOLDT should only be switched off from the mains in cases of ex-
tended absence (like vacations) or if massive trouble on the mains power is to be
expected. Pull the power cord off the mains power input socket to completely
disconnect the unit from mains.
Tip
The use of high quality power cords could improve the sound quality. Please
ask your local retailer for more information.

Orientation of mains plug
The correct polarization of mains is important for reasons of audio clarity and
stability. Please connect the power cord so that the hot pin of the wall outlet is
connected to the pin of the mains power input marked with 'PHASE' .
