Location 

 
 

Avoid using the “

Reference 

150” in the following locations: 

 

Locations of extreme low or high temperatures, or extreme changes in temperature. 

 

Sources of  heat such as near commercial heaters,  fires or other sources of heat. 

 

Unstable locations or where the unit can fall due to vibration. 

 

Locations with  moisture or dust. 

 

Locations where electrical voltage varies. 

Power Supply 

 

When unplugging the AC adaptor from the outlet, be sure to grasp the adaptor. Attempting to unplug it by pulling on 
the AC cable may damage the wiring or the mains socket on the amplifier. 

 
*     Always power-down amplifier  and switch off before making any connections. 

 

It is 

dangerous

 to use any power cable that is 

cut

 or 

frayed

. If the power cable is damaged,  stop using it 

immediately,  and have it repaired. 

 

Do not plug in or unplug the AC adaptor with wet hands. Doing so may result in dangerous electric shock. 

 

Do not remove the amplifier or touch any parts inside. Doing so may result in a dangerous electric shock, and could 
damage the delicate electronic circuits.  The voltages inside the amplifier are very dangerous. 

 

Do not let water or other liquids, flammable materials, or metal objects such as pins get inside any of the input 
sockets. These things can cause an electrical shock or short circuit the amplifier, and damage it. If the amplifier 
should become wet, unplug the AC adaptor from the AC outlet at the wall first, and contact the manufacturers 
directly.  

There are NO user serviceable parts inside.
