7.   Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance 

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8.   Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat 

registers,  stoves,  or  other  apparatus  (including  amplifiers) 

that produce heat.

9.   Do  not  defeat  the  safety  purpose  of  the  polarized  or 

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with 

one  wider  than  the  other.  A  grounding-type  plug  has  two 

blades  and  a  third  grounding  prong.  The  wide  blade  or 

the  third  prong  is  provided  for  your  safety.  If  the  provided 

plug  does  not  fit  into  your  outlet,  consult  an  electrician  for 

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.  Protect  the  power  cord  from  being  walked  on  or  pinched, 

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point 

where they exit from the apparatus. 

11.  Only  use  attachments/accessories  specified  by  the 

manufacturer.

12.  Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified 

by  the  manufacturer,  or  sold  with  the  apparatus.  When  a 

cart  is  used,  use  caution  when  moving  the  cart/apparatus 

combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 

13.  Unplug  this  apparatus  during  lightning  storms  or  when 

unused for long periods of time.

14.  Refer  all  servicing  to  qualified  service  personnel.  Servicing 

is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any 

way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid 

has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the 

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not 

operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.  Use  the  mains  plug  to  disconnect  the  appartus  from  the 

mains.

16.  WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not 

expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

17.  Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing and 

ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are 

placed on the equipment.

18.  The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily 

operable.

19.  Do not connect the unit’s output to any other voltage source 

such as battery, mains source, or power supply, regardless  

of whether the unit is turned on or off.

20.  Do  not  remove  the  top  (or  bottom)  cover.  Removal  of  the 

cover  will  expose  hazardous  voltages.  There  are  no  user 

serviceable parts inside and removal may void the warranty.

21.  An experienced user shall always supervise this professional 

audio  equipment,  especially  if  inexperienced  adults  or  

minors are using the equipment.

22.  The  US  National  Differences  clause  16.3  requires  that 

network cables must be flame rated VW-1.

1.1 Approvals

1.2. Explanation of warning symbols

1.3. Warnings 

To prevent electric shock do not remove top or bottom 

covers. No user serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to 

qualified service personnel.

Français

: À prévenir le choc électrique n’enlevez pas les 

couvercles. Il n’y a pas des parties serviceable à l’intérieur, tous 

reparations doit etre faire par personnel qualifié seulment.

The lightning bolt triangle is used to 
alert the user to the presence of 
un-insulated “dangerous voltages” 
within the unit’s chassis that may be 
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a 
risk of electric shock to humans.

The exclamation point triangle is used to 
alert the user to presence of important 
operating and service instructions in the 
literature accompanying the product.
