Important Safety Precautions and Explanation of Symbols

!

!

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of 

important installation, operation, and service instructions in this manual.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user 

to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltages within the enclosure that may be of sufficient 

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to the user. 

Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install, configure, or operate the XPR-2. 

After successful installation and configuration of the XPR-2, be sure to retain this manual in a safe 

place for future reference. 

Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. Please read and follow 

all instructions and heed all warnings on the XPR-2 and in this manual. The vast majority of the 

subsequent safety precautions are common sense. If you are not comfortable with the installation 

of audio/video entertainment equipment, you should seek the services of a qualified installation 

professional or call us for help.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE  

XPR-2 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 XPR-2. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT. REFER 

ALL SERVICE TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT AT THE SPEAKER OUTPUT 

TERMINALS OF THE XPR-2 (AND ALL HIGH-POWERED AMPLIFIERS). TO REDUCE THE RISK 

OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT TOUCH UNINSULATED AREAS OF TERMINALS OR SPEAKER 

WIRES UNLESS THE AMPLIFIER IS TURNED OFF. DO NOT SHORT THE SPEAKER OUTPUTS 

OF THE XPR-2 TO EACH OTHER, OR TO OTHER EQUIPMENT, WHILE THE AMPLIFIER IS 
POWERED ON; SERIOUS EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR INJURY MAY RESULT IF YOU DO. 

To reduce the risk of electrical damage, verify that no short circuits are present between terminals 

and / or speaker wires before applying power. 
Do not install the XPR-2 near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating vents, or other 

apparatus that produces 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 XPR-2 in locations without proper ventilation. The XPR-2 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 XPR-2 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only use attachments or 

accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Do not install the XPR-2 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 XPR-2 only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this manual and on 

 

the XPR-2).
