13.

  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.

14. 

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused 

for long periods of time.

15.

  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.

to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection (the third grounding 

prong).

19.

  This apparatus has been equipped with a rocker-style AC mains power switch. This 

switch is located on the rear panel and should remain readily accessible to the user.

20.

  The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device,  

so the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

NOTE:

 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class 

B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed 

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency  

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may  

cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

   

•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

   

•  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

   

•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from  

 

    that to which the receiver is connected.

 

 

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

 

CAUTION:

 Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by LOUD 

Audio, LLC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.

23.

  This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled 

environment. This device should be installed and operated with minimum distance 

20cm between the radiator & your body.

24.

  This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is applicable) limits 

for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference 

regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

ATTENTION 

— Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques 

dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils numériques de class A/de class B 

(selon le cas) prescrites dans le réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté 

par les ministere des communications du Canada.

25.

  This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs.  

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

 (1) this device may not cause interference, and

  (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause 

undesired operation of the device.

  Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux 

appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions 

suivantes:

 (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et

  (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,  

même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

26.

  Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. 

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 period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown  

in the following chart.

 

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result  

in some hearing loss. 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 use hearing protectors while the equipment 

is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must  

be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss  

if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:
