SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (EUROPEAN)

The conductors in the AC power cord are colored in accordance with the following code.

GREEN & YELLOW—Earth        BLUE—Neutral         BROWN—Live

U.K. MAIN PLUG WARNING:  A molded main plug that has been cut off from the cord is
unsafe.  NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU INSERT A DAMAGED
OR CUT MAIN PLUG INTO A POWER SOCKET.

IMPORTANT!  FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

WATER AND MOISTURE:  Appliance should not be used near water (near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc).  Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
POWER SOURCES:  The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described
in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:  Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polar-
ization means of an appliance is not defeated.
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, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
SERVICING:  The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the
operating instructions.  All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
FUSING:  If your unit is equipped with a fuse receptacle, replace only with the same type fuse.
Refer to replacement text on the unit for correct fuse type.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL! THIS UNIT CONTAINS HIGH
VOLTAGE INSIDE!

LIMITED WARRANTY

Your Carvin product is guaranteed against failure for ONE YEAR unless otherwise stated.  Carvin will

service and supply all parts at no charge to the customer providing the unit is under warranty.  Shipping
costs are the responsibility of the customer.  CARVIN DOES NOT PAY FOR PARTS OR SERVICING OTHER
THAN OUR OWN.   A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL INVOICE IS REQUIRED TO VERIFY YOUR WARRANTY.
Carvin assumes no responsibility for horn drivers or speakers damaged by this unit. This warranty
does not cover, and no liability is assumed, for damage due to: natural disasters, accidents, abuse,
loss of parts,  lack of reasonable care, incorrect use, or failure to follow instructions.  This warranty
is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied. No representative or person is authorized to
represent or assume for Carvin any liability in connection with the sale or servicing of Carvin prod-
ucts. CARVIN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. 

When RETURNING merchandise to the factory, you may call for a return authorization number.  Describe

in writing each problem.  If your unit is out of warranty, you will be charged the current FLAT RATE for
parts and labor to bring your unit up to factory specifications.

HELP SECTION

1)  AMP WILL NOT TURN ON

Check the power to the amp.  Check for tripped circuit breakers, unplugged extension cords or power-
strip switches that may be turned off.  Check the fuse.  If a dark brownish color or no wire can be
seen within the glass tube, then replace.  The amp may be perfectly fine but occasionally a fuse
may blow because of high AC voltage surges.  After the fuse has been replaced with the proper
Slow Blow value and if the fuse fails again, the amp will require servicing.

2)  NO OUTPUT with POWER LED light ON

Check the speaker cable.  If OK, it’s possible that a speaker jack is defective.  Check the SEND &
RETURN jacks as one of these jacks could be defective.  Insert a guitar cord between these two
jacks to test.  Defective jacks will require servicing. 

3)  KEEP YOUR AMP LOOKING NEW

Use a damp cloth to wipe the controls on the front & rear chassis panels.  Wipe dry!  Brush the lint
off the Duratuff II™  covering.
