SUPPLY VOLTAGE

Your Cyrus aEQ7 pre-amplifier is set to operate from the
mains supply voltage marked on the rear of the unit.
Ensure this voltage is the same as your mains supply, i.e.

230V Products

Voltage Range 220V-240V

115V Products

Voltage Range 110V-120V

Consult your Mission distributor to arrange for conversion
of your Cyrus aEQ7 if you move to an area with a
different mains voltage.

LOCATION

Install the Cyrus aEQ7 in a well-ventilated location where
it will not be exposed to high temperature or humidity.

Avoid installing the Cyrus aEQ7 in a location, which is
exposed to direct sunlight, or near hot appliances or
radiators. Placing the unit on heat generating sources or
installing it in damp or dusty conditions will affect
performance and may result in malfunction or accident.

GENERAL NOTES ON POSITIONING

The Cyrus aEQ7 may be positioned either free standing or
alongside another piece of audio equipment. Never stand
the Cyrus aEQ7 under another unit. This may adversely
affect the cooling of the Cyrus aEQ7. Never place the unit
on any surface, which may hamper normal ventilation.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION

Do not allow any liquids or foreign objects to fall into this
unit. When routing the power cord avoid running it over or
near sharp objects. Do not stand objects on the power cord.
If the Cyrus aEQ7 is not to be used for a long period of
time, unplug the unit from the mains power supply.
This unit contains no user serviceable parts.
Never remove any panels from the unit or attempt to
service the unit. In the unlikely event of failure, please
refer to qualified service personnel.

Important Note for UK Customers

The mains lead of this unit is fitted with a UK 13A Plug. Do
NOT disassemble this plug. If for any reason you remove the
plug, dispose of it safely and do not attempt to re-use it.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code: Blue - neutral, Brown - live.
If these colours do not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals on your new mains plug:

Connect the Blue wire to the terminal which is marked with
the letter N or coloured Black.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal, which is marked
with the letter L or coloured Red.
Ensure that your equipment is connected correctly. If in
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
