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 XPR-2 to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating. MOST 

power strips and extension cords are NOT sufficient to safely supply the power required by the XPR-2. 

Using a power source of insufficient capacity will constitute a safety risk and also seriously compromise the 

performance of the XPR-2
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 XPR-2 should be unplugged from the outlet during severe electrical storms, or 

when unused for a long period of time.

Only replace the fuse(s) in the XPR-2 with fuse(s) of proper value and voltage rating. 

WARNING: UNDER SOME OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE XPR-2 MAY CAUSE A FUSE OR 

CIRCUIT BREAKER IN YOUR BREAKER PANEL TO OPEN, WHICH INDICATES THAT THE XPR-2 

IS ATTEMPTING TO DRAW MORE CURRENT THAN YOUR CIRCUIT CAN SAFELY SUPPLY. IF THIS 

OCCURS, DO NOT REPLACE THE BREAKER OR FUSE WITH ONE OF HIGHER RATING. DOING 

SO MAY RESULT IN THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, WHICH MAY RESULT IN 

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

The XPR-2 should only be cleaned as directed in the manual. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the unit 

and NEVER spray liquids into the vents. Care should be taken so that small objects do not fall into the 

inside of the unit.

You should seek service for your XPR-2 by qualified service personnel if any of the following occur:
1. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.

 

2. Objects or liquid have fallen or spilled into the vents.

 

3. The unit has been exposed to rain.

 

4. The unit exhibits a marked change in performance.

 

5. The unit has been dropped, or its enclosure or chassis is damaged.

WARNING: THE XPR-2 IS VERY HEAVY. THE XPR-2 SHOULD BE LIFTED BY TWO PERSONS, OR 

BY ONE PERSON WITH MECHANICAL ASSISTANCE. THE XPR-2 SHOULD ONLY BE PLACED ON 

TABLES, STANDS, OR SHELVES, OR MOUNTED IN RACKS, WITH A CAPACITY OF AT LEAST 200 

POUNDS. 
NOTE: TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THE XPR-2 FROM THE AC POWER MAINS, DISCONNECT 

THE AC POWER CORD FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE.
NOTE: THE POWER CORD ON THE XPR-2 MUST REMAIN READILY ACCESSIBLE AT ALL TIMES.
