LPE-2

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For your safety and the safety of others, be sure to read and understand all safety and opera-
tional instructions before attempting to use the LPE-2. 

WARNING: The LPE-2 internal

circuitry carries lethal voltages.

 Carefully observe all warnings, precautions, and instructions

on the LPE-2 and as described in the instructions supplied with the unit.

1. WATER, MOISTURE, AND SPILLAGE
Do not attempt to use the LPE-2 in, near, or around water or in unusually moist environments,

such as near a sink or swimming pool. Prevent liquids or any other materials or objects from
spilling or falling into the LPE-2 unit.

2. HEAT AND VENTILATION
Be sure to allow adequate ventilation to LPE-2 and avoid using or installing unit in close proxim-

ity to heat sources, such as heaters, stoves, radiators, power amplifiers, spotlights, or other heat-
producing appliances or equipment.

3. POWER SOURCES AND POWER CORD PROTECTION
The LPE-2 Power Supply should be connected to a power source only of the type described in the

operating instructions or as marked on the Power Supply. Route the power cord so that it is not
likely to be walked on or pinched by having objects placed on it. Pay particular attention to plugs,
receptacles, and the point where the AC power cord exits the LPE-2.

4. GROUNDING

For your safety, it is extremely important that the grounding pin of the 3-wire power cable (in-
cluded with unit) be inserted into a grounding type 3-pin power outlet. If you are unable to insert
the plug into an existing outlet, contact an electrician to install a properly grounded 3-pin power

outlet, preferably that with OFI protection, if available.

5. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
This unit should be repaired or serviced by qualified personnel whenever:
· The AC power cord has been damaged, or

· An audio cable has been damaged, or
· Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into any LPE-2 unit, or

· The unit does not function properly or exhibits a marked change in performance, or
· The unit has been abused, dropped, or damaged, or
· The unit has been exposed to rain or moisture

6. SERVICING

Deadly voltages are found inside the LPE-2 chassis.

 The user should not attempt to repair or

service this unit. All servicing and/or repairs should be referred to Millennia Media.
