SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of
this unit. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in these instructions
violates manufacturer safety standards and intended use of this unit. Harman Specialty Group assumes no
liability for failure to comply with these requirements.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the unit chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The unit is
equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug. It will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the unit in the presence of flammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in
such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove unit covers. Qualified maintenance personnel must make component
replacements and internal adjustments. Do not replace components with the power cord connected. Under
certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cord removed. To avoid personal injuries,
always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering first-aid resuscitation
is present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any
unauthorized modification to the unit.
