Important Safety InformatIon

Verify Line Voltage Before use

Your AVR 460/AVR 360 has been designed for use with 230-240 volt AC 
current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended 
can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific 
model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer 
before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do not use extension cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. We 
do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all 
electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy 
objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by 
an authorized service center with a cord meeting factory specifications.

Handle the ac power cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug; 
never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for any considerable 
length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
