SAFETY

 

WARNINGS 

   The installation and servicing instructions in this manual are for use by qualified personnel only. 
 

Read All Instructions. All safety and operating instructions must be read before operating the product. They also must be retained for future 
reference, as it contains a number of useful hints for determining the best combination of equipment settings for Yr particular application.  
 
Heed All Warnings. All warnings on the product and those listed in the operating instructions must be adhered to.  
 
Heat. This product must be situated away from any heat sources such as radiators or other products (including power amplifiers or 
transmitters) that produce heat.  
 
Power Sources. This product must be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label and in the installation 
instructions. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your facility, consult your local power company. Make sure the AC main 
voltage corresponds to that indicated in the technical specifications. If a different voltage (ex. 110/115 VAC) is available, open the equipment 
closure and set the voltage switch on the main supply circuit, located behind the AC socket.  
 
Power Cord Protection. Power supply cords must 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 cords at AC wall plugs and convenience receptacles, and at the point where the cord plugs into 
the product.  
 
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use 
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
 
Lightning. For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, 
unplug it from the AC wall outlet and the audio connections. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.  
 
Installation. Configuration and installation should only be carried out by a competent installation engineer. 
  
Cabling. Using high-quality wires, well protected. Make sure the cable integrity.
