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.

Cleaning

Unplug the device 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 device.

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.

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.

Connecting

When you connect the device to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment 
from the supply source. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. 
Read the user‘s manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making 
the connections.

Sound level

Reduce the volume to minimum before you tune on the amplifier to prevent sudden high levels of 

noise which may cause hearing or speaker damage.

Power failure

In case of power failure while the amplifier is powered up, it will automatically restart as soon as the 

mains supply is restored. All settings made before the power failure are restored.

Speakon connectors and Speakon cords

WARNING: Speakon connectors marked with a lightning bolt, indicate high voltages that might be 
life threatening.

Refer custom wiring with these connectors to qualified personnel and use off-the-shelf cords.

To prevent electric shock, do not operate the product with any of the conductor portion of the 
speaker wire exposed.
