will impede the flow of cooling air.
8. This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier.
9. Connect only to a power supply of the type marker on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
10. Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord.
11. Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at
the plug and the point where the chord exits the unit.
12. The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.
13. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
14. The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable.

19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing gloss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone
will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the following permissible noise level exposure.
Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, slow response
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1 ½ 102
1 105
½ 110
¼ or less 115
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be
worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous
exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system
be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
