2.1. Before you begin
Before using your V 70, please remove the protective grille and install the output tubes supplied
with your amplifier in the appropriate sockets (see Removing the Grille and Tube Layout). Replace
the grille before switching on.
Operating the amplifier without its protective grille is dangerous and not recommended.
In case of emergency: disconnect the plug from the mains supply
Never use an amplifier that is damaged or faulty. Make sure that it cannot be used until it has been
repaired by a qualified service engineer.
Make sure that there is easy access to the IEC socket and power cord.
Do not open the case
There are dangerously high voltages and hot tubes inside this equipment. To avoid a burn or the
risk of electric shock, never allow anyone except qualified personnel to open the case or remove
the grille.

qualified technician. Always replace fuses with ones of the same type and rating. If your amplifier
requires servicing, please ship or take your equipment directly to OCTAVE or to one of our author-
