adjustments, maintenance, repairs and before replacing parts.

• The appliance can only be insulated from all power sources if the

mains connection is unplugged.

• Adjustment, maintenance and repairs carried out when the unit has

been opened and is still live may only be performed by specialist
personnel who are authorized by the manufacturer (in accordance
with VBG 4) and who are aware of the associated hazards.

• Loudspeaker outputs which have the IEC 417/5036 symbol (Diagram

1, below) can carry voltages which are hazardous if they are made
contact with. Before the unit is switched on, the loudspeaker should
therefore only be connected using the lead recommended by the
manufacturer.

• Where possible, all plugs on connection cables must be screwed or

locked onto the casing.

• Replace fuses only with IEC127 type and specified ratings.
• It is not permitted to use repaired fuses or to short-circuit the fuse

holder.

• Never interrupt the protective conductor connection.
• Surfaces which are equipped with the "HOT" mark (Diagram 2,

below), rear panels or covers with cooling slits, cooling bodies and
their covers, as well as tubes and their covers are purposely designed
to dissipate high temperatures and should therefore not be touched.

• High loudspeaker levels can cause permanent hearing damage. You

should 
therefore avoid the direct vicinity of loudspeakers operating at high
levels. 
Wear hearing protection if continuously exposed to high levels.

MAINS CONNECTION:

• The unit is designed for continuous operation.
• The set operating voltage must match the local mains supply voltage.
• The unit is connected to the mains via the supplied power unit or
