WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE STEALTH PA-1
AMPLIFIER NEAR WATER OR IN WET LOCATIONS, DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE, DO NOT
EXPOSE IT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING FROM OTHER SOURCES, AND ENSURE THAT NO OBJECTS
FILLED WITH LIQUIDS (SUCH AS VASES) ARE PLACED ON IT. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE UNIT AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, WHICH MAY RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER FROM THE
STEALTH PA-1 AMPLIFIER. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT. REFER ALL
SERVICE TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Do not install the PA-1 near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating vents, or other apparatus’
that produce heat. Do not block any ventilation openings or heat sinks. Avoid installing the unit directly
above other heat-producing equipment unless sufficient ventilation or forced-air cooling is provided.
Do not install the PA-1 in locations without proper ventilation. The PA-1 should not be operated on a bed,
sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The unit should not be installed in an enclosed location
such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack unless sufficient forced-air ventilation is provided.
Always install your PA-1according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only use attachments or
accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Do not install the PA-1 on any stand, shelf, or other piece of furniture that is unable to support its weight. If
a cart is used to move the unit, use caution to avoid injury from tip-over.
Connect the PA-1 only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this manual and on the PA-1).
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially careful
where the power cable enters the power outlet and the unit.
Only connect the PA-1 to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating.
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using
unsafe adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a
third ground prong in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third groundling prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. If you replace the power cord, only use one of similar type and equal or greater current
rating.
The power cable for the PA-1 should be unplugged from the outlet during severe electrical storms, or when
unused for a long period of time.
