Important Safety Instructions

WARNING:

The rear panel power cord connector is the mains power

disconnect device. The device must be located in an open area that
allows access to the cord connector.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type
and voltage specified on the rear panel. (USA: 120V/60Hz,
EC: 230V/50Hz)
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied
power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the
supplied cable. A polarized plug has two blades, with one wider than
the other. A grounding plug has two blades plus a third grounding
prong. These are provided for your safety. Do not defeat grounding
and/or polarization safety provisions. If the supplied plug does not
fit your outlet, please consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet. Do not use extension cords.
The main plug of the power cordset is a disconnect device of the
apparatus. In order to completely disconnect the apparatus from
the supply mains, the main plug of the power cordset should be
unplugged from the mains (AC) outlet. The power LED indicator will
not be lit up to show the power cord is unplugged. The disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent,
exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the
power cord at the plug and where the cord exits the back of the unit.
The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet during a
lightning storm or if the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time.
This apparatus shall be connected to a main socket outlet with a
protective earth connection.
Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, rack, bracket or shelf
system recommended by Rotel. Use caution when
moving the unit in a stand or rack to avoid injury
from a tip-over.
