Hazardous
live AC

Do not expose the unit to drip-
ping water or moist.

Placement:

Do not place your Atilla on top
of any heat producing products,
such as power amplifiers or
DACs. If you place the Atilla
inside any Hi-FI furniture or cab-
inets, there must be a clearance
of a minimum of 10cm (4 inch-
es) above the product and a
minimum of 5cm (2 inches)
along the sides. To allow a flow
of cooling air the back of the
cabinet must be open. If these
guidelines are not observed,
overheating may result. 

Mains Switch:

To place your Atilla into standby
mode use the main switch. The
switch is located in the bottom
on the right side just beneath
the acrylic front panel.
