GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Power
is supplied to the amplifier through an IEC type detachable cord set. The main fuse (and a spare) is located
in a slide-out drawer in the bottom half of the IEC connector. See the fuse chart on the back panel of the
amplifier for information pertaining to your country’s supply voltage. The mains connector, fuse holder, and power
supply are internationally rated at 115/230 volts - 50/60 Hz. An Australian specific 240 volt version is also available
and is distinguished by a label on the rear of the unit. For our international touring players, an external mains line
voltage switch is provided, with a fuse size chart printed on the rear of the unit denoting the power supply
configuration and fuse size that the unit has been rated for. International IEC type cord-sets are available for a
variety of international power supply sockets.
Common sense
(as well as the law) dictates that you do not operate the unit where it will be exposed to moisture or
rain, excessive ambient heat (over 110 degrees F / 40 degrees C) or without a properly grounded A.C. power source.
Never remove the ground pin from the A.C. power connector.
Ventilation
is required to keep this amplifier from overheating. Do not block air flow over heat-sinks at the rear of the
unit.
SAFE OPERATING REQUIREMENTS:
•Never set an amplifier on anything that will tip over or collapse under its weight.
•Provide a minimum distance of 25.4 mm (1 inch) around all sides of the amplifier for sufficient ventilation. The

•This amplifier should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases or
drinks, should be placed on this product.
•The GBE 1200 amplifier should be connected to a mains socket outlet (power receptacle) with a protective earth
(ground) connection at all times.
•The amplifiers mains plug (power plug) is considered the disconnect device and the connection must remain
accessible at all times.
•This amplifier is capable of producing sound pressure levels that may cause hearing loss.
