Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: The rear panel power cord connector is the mains
power disconnect device. The apparatus 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: 120 V/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 stand-by 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.
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.
Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected
and/or serviced by a qualified service agency if:
• The power supply cord or plug has been damaged
• Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit
• The unit has been exposed to rain
• The unit shows signs of improper operation
