Placement
Caution:
The RBB-1080 weighs approximately 55 pounds. Two-peo-
ple should work together when the unit is being moved. Lift the RBB-
1080 carefully by firmly grasping both sides of unit in the middle.
Failure to use caution and proper procedures when lift-
ing or moving the unit may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
Place unit on a solid, flat surface that is capable of supporting at least
55 lbs.
Note:
Avoid placing other components directly on top of or behind the
unit. Leave at least one inch of space on all sides to allow for proper air
ventilation.
Rack Mounting
The RBB-1080 can be mounted in a standard 19” rack. Rack-mounting
hardware is provided.
1. Install the rack-mount rails. (See the installation sheet located in the
box containing the rack-mount rails.)
2. Install the rail cleats. (See the installation sheet packaged with the
cleats.)
3. Install rack-mount ears. (OPTIONAL — See the installation sheet pack-
aged with these parts.)
Note:
Rack-mount ears are not required. The
only function they serve is to fasten the unit to the front of the rack and
prevent front-to-rear movement.
Caution:
Rack-mount ears should
NEVER
be used alone to support
the unit. Rack-mount rails must always be used to support the unit’s
weight when rack-mounting.
4. Slide the unit into the rack so that the cleats mounted on the side of the
unit fit within the track of the rack-mount rails. If the ears were mounted,
screw the mounted ears into the rack to lock unit into position. (See
the installation sheet.)
Limited Warranty
The standard warranty is two (2) years from the date of purchase.
Be sure
to keep your purchase receipt as proof of the original date of purchase.
Rotel’s standard procedure is to replace the original unit with a factory
reconditioned unit. Customers who must have the original unit back due to
the assignment of asset tags and set depreciation schedules must declare
such a need at first contact with Rotel Technical Support. Rotel will ship the
replacement unit once the defective unit has been received by the repair
department, or cross-ship upon the receipt of a valid credit card number.
The customer pays for shipping the unit to Rotel. Rotel pays ground freight
transportation costs to ship the replacement unit to the customer.

Notes on Battery Replacement
The batteries in the RBB-1080 are not user serviceable or replaceable.
Contact your authorized Rotel dealer or Rotel Technical Support at
800-370-3741 to purchase another RBB-1080 Extended Battery Pack.
By default RLC-1080 performs an automatic Self-Test every two weeks.
If the test fails, a Replace Battery message will appear on the front panel
display of the RLC-1080. To determine if it is the internal RLC-1080 bat-
tery pack or the external RBB-1080 Extended Battery Pack that needs
replacing, disconnect the RBB-1080 and initiate a new Self-Test. If the
test passes, the RBB-1080 likely needs to be replaced. If in warranty,
contact Rotel Technical Support (see below). If the test fails again, then
the RLC-1080 internal battery pack likely needs to be replaced. To initiate
a Self-Test manually, press the
Setup
button on the front panel until you
reach the “Initate Self-Test” screen. Then use the “up” or “down” arrows
to initiate the test.
