All service and repair work must be carried out by an authorized dealer/distributor. When replacement parts are required, 
please  ensure  that  the  dealer/distributor  only  uses  replacement  parts  specified  by  the  manufacturer.  The  use  of 
unauthorized replacement parts may result in injury and/or damage through fire or electric shock or other electricity-
related hazards.

Safety Check:

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the dealer/distributor to perform safety

checks to determine that the amplifier is in proper operating condition.

Read the information for use (User Manual):

protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Environments

:

Use this product only in E1, E2, E3 or E4 environments according to EN55103-2.

“Electromagnetic compatibility – Product family standard for audio, video and audio-visual entertainment lighting control 
apparatus for professional use – Part 2: Immunity”.

Ventilation and heat sink:

The heatsink is provided to ensure reliable operation of the Amplifier Unit and to protect it from overheating. The heat sink 
must not be blocked or covered. This product should not be installed unless proper ventilation is provided or manufacturer’s 
instructions have been adhered to.

Water and Moisture:

Do not use this product near water (for example, in damp rooms or near a swimming pool).

Cleaning:

Unplug the Amplifier Unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Power-cord Protection:

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon them or 
against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, and the point where they exit from the Amplifier Unit.

Lightning:

For added protection of the product during lightning storms, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of 
time,  unplug  it  from  the  wall  outlet.  This  will  prevent  damage  to  the  product  due  to  lightning  and  power-line  surges. 
Disconnection from the mains power supply can only be achieved by removing the plug from the mains socket and by external 
disconnection of all poles from the mains.

Interference of external objects and/or liquids with the appliance:

Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out 
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the amplifier.
