IMPORTANT NOTES

European Union Directives

Quad equipment is designed to comply with the legal provisions of EU Directives

89/336/EC and 72/23/EEC. The standards which have been applied were those in

force at the time of the introduction of the product. 

The product bears the CE mark:  

Compliance cannot guarantee perfect performance. In the very rare circumstance

that you experience problems you should first try to locate and remedy the origin of

any disturbance. A further option is to relocate the Quad equipment in order to

reduce the interference. Your dealer should be able to provide assistance if the

problem persists.

FCC Rule 15 Class B

This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a mains circuit different to that

to which the receiver is attached

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

This Class B apparatus meets all the requirements of the Canadian Interference

Causing Equipment Regulations.

Information to the user

Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorisation may

invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment.

It is always good practice to switch off equipment before connecting or disconnecting

signal leads.  This will prevent unpleasant and loud noises coming from the

loudspeakers and avoid the risk of damage to equipment.

This equipment is double insulated and does not need a safety earth.  It is

important, though, that any equipment connected to it is earthed according to the

manufacturers’ instructions.  This becomes more important as the number of units

which are connected together increases.

Noise Pollution

Please be aware that very high sound pressure levels can cause permanent

damage to your hearing and also severe annoyance to neighbours.
