ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

10. Connections

When you connect the amplifier to other equipment, turn off the power and 
unplug all of the equipment from the supply source. Failure to do so may 
cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the user manual 
of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making 
the connections.

11. Lightning

For additional protection of this amplifier during lightning storms or when 
it is left unattended and/or unused for long periods of time, unplug it from 
the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the amplifier due to lightning 
and power line surges. Disconnection from the mains power supply can 
only be achieved by removing the plug from the mains socket and by 
external disconnecting all poles from the mains.

12. Damages that require service

Unplug this amplifier from the mains supply and refer to your dealer / dis-
tributor or other authorized repair workshop if any of the following situa-
tions occur:

 if liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the amplifier
 if the amplifier has been exposed to rain or moisture
 if the amplifier has been dropped or damaged in any other way
 if the power supply cord or plug has been damaged
  when the amplifier exhibits a distinct change from its normal function 

or performance

  in case the amplifier has been used in a dusty environment for quite 

a period of time

13. Servicing

All service and repair work must be carried out by a dealer / distributor 
authorized by 

CAMCO

. Do not attempt to service this amplifier yourself. 

As opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or 
other hazards, the amplifier may only be opened by qualified personnel. 
Please refer to your dealer / distributor.

14. Spare parts

When spare parts are required, please ensure that the dealer / distribu-
tor only uses spare parts specified by the manufacturer. The use of 
un authorized spare parts may result in injury and / or damage through fire 
or electric shock or other electricity-related hazards.

15. Safety check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the 
dealer / distributor to perform safety checks to determine that the amplifier 
works properly.
Recommendations on how to carry out the safety test can be found in 
DIN VDE 0701-1 “Maintenance, Modification and Test of Electronic Appli-
ances“.

16. Cleaning

Unplug this amplifier from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid 
or aerosol cleaners. Clean only with dry cloth.

17. Packaging and shipping

When shipping the 

iD4

 amplifier, always use the original shipping carton 

and packing materials. For maximum protection repack the unit as it was 
originally packed at the factory.

18. Altitude (for China only)

The amplifier shall only be operated at altitudes below or 
equal 2000 m.

19. Non-tropics (for China only)

The amplifier shall only be operated in non tropic areas.
