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 TCL-2. 

WARNING: The TCL-2 internal cir-

cuitry carries lethal voltages.

 Carefully observe all warnings, precautions, and instructions on 

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

1. WATER, MOISTURE, AND SPILLAGE

Do not attempt to use the TCL-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 spill-

ing or falling into the TCL-2 unit. 

2. HEAT AND VENTILATION 

Be sure to allow adequate ventilation to TCL-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 TCL-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 TCL-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 with OFI protection.

5. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
This unit should be repaired or serviced by qualified personnel whenever:
· The AC power cord has been damaged, or
· Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into any TCL-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

Lethal voltages are found inside the TCL-2 chassis.

 The user should not attempt to repair or service
