Important Safety Instructions

FCC COMPLIANCE NOTICE

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following 
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device 
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.

CAUTION: Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A 
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed 
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to 
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or 
televi sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the 
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following 
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver 

is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

MAGNETIC FIELD

CAUTION!  Do not locate sensitive high-gain equipment such as 
preamplifi ers or tape decks directly above or below the unit. Because 
this amplifi er has a high power density, it has a strong magnetic fi eld 
which can induce hum into unshielded devices that are located 
nearby. The fi eld is strongest just above and below the unit.

If an equipment rack is used, we recommend locating the 
ampli fi er(s) in the bottom of the rack and the preamplifi er or other 
sensi tive equipment at the top.
