Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent 
hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing 
loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently 
intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified 
the following permissible noise level exposures: 

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could 
result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over 
the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to 
prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as 
put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high 
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to 
equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this 
amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in 
operation.

against a wall or placed in a built-in enclosure that will impede the 
flow of cooling air.

8.

 Do not install this product near any heat sources ; such as, 

radiators, heat registers, stove or other apparatus (including heat 
producing amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type 

plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the 
other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding 
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your 
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an 
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord being walked on or pinched, particularly at 

plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from 
the apparatus. Do not break the ground pin of the power supply 
cord.

11 . Only use attachments specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by 

the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, 
use caution when moving cart/apparatus combination to avoid 
injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for 

long periods of time.

14. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not 

spilled into the unit through the ventilation ports or any other 
openings.

15. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is 

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way; such 
as, power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled 
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been 
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has 
been dropped.

16. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not 

expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO 

NOT REMOVE CHASSIS. NO USER-SERVICEABLE 
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED 
SERVICE PERSONNEL.

AVIS:   RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE-NE PAS OUVRIR.

CAUTION

APPARATUS SHALL NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING
