IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

) Read the information for use (user manual).

2) Please keep this user manual in a safe place during the lifetime of the am-
plifier. The user manual forms an integral part of the amplifier. Reselling of the 
amplifier is only possible if the user manual is available. Any changes made to 
the amplifier have to be documented in writing and passed on to the buyer in 
the event of resale.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this amplifier near water (for example, in damp rooms or near a 
swimming pool).

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7)  Do  not  block  any  ventilation  openings.  Install  in  accordance  with  the  user 
manual.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or 
other apparatus that produce heat.

9) Protect the power cord from being walked on, pinched or damaged in any 
other way. Pay particular attention to plugs and the point where they exit from 
the amplifier.

0) The amplifier may only be used in accordance with the information provided 
in the user manual. Before and during the usage of the amplifier please ensure 
that all recommendations, especially the safety recommendations as detailed in 
the user manual, are adhered to.
The 

TECTON

-Amplifier is designed for the amplification of pulsed audio signals 

and  the  amplifier  should  only  be  connected  to  speakers  with  an  average 
impedance that is not lower than the impedances specified in points 

3.8.2, 3.8.3 

and 

3.8.4.

) Do not place this amplifier on an unstable cart, stand, 
tripod,  bracket,  or  table.  The  device  may  fall,  causing 
 serious injury, and serious damage to the device itself.

2) The amplifier can only be disconnected from the power supply by removing 
the  plug,  which  must  be  freely  accessible  at  all  times.  Unplug  this  amplifier 
 during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

3) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 
Servicing is required when 

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

performance.
