SLP-2002 USERS MANUAL
SAFETY WARNING
:
Vacuum tube circuits need high voltage to work properly.
Please do not open the cabinet of the SLP-2002 while the preamplifier
is on or plugged into an AC power supply.
Even when it is unplugged there is
high voltage present in the circuitry, stored by the capacitors on the main circuit board.
Please do not install the SLP-2002 where moisture or condensation will fall on it. We
recommend any service to be performed by your Cary Audio dealer. If any liquid enters
into the preamplifier unplug it immediately and do not plug it in again until any and all
liquid has been removed and the interior of the preamplifier is dry.
