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 

are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, 

consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

 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.

or electric shock.

17.

 This apparatus has been designed with Class-I construction and must be connected 

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

prong).

18.

 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.

19.

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

disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

20. 

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 Technologies Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment 

under FCC rules.

21.

 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.

22.

 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.

23.

 

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.

24.

 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:
