Important Safety Precautions and Explanation of Symbols
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important installation, operation, and service instructions in this manual.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltages within the enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to the user.
Please read this Installation and Operation Manual thoroughly before attempting to install, configure,
or operate the PA 12-45. After successful installation and configuration of the PA 12-45, be sure to
retain this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. Please read and follow all
instructions and heed all warnings on the PA 12-45 and in this manual. If you are not comfortable with
the installation of audio/video entertainment equipment, you should seek the services of a qualified
installation professional or call us for help.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE
PA 12-45 NEAR WATER OR IN WET LOCATIONS, DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE,
DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING FROM OTHER SOURCES, AND ENSURE
THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS (SUCH AS VASES) ARE PLACED ON IT. DOING SO
MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PA 12-45 AND CREATE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
WHICH MAY RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER
FROM THE PA 12-45. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE PA 12-45.
REFER ALL SERVICE TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
To reduce the risk of electrical damage, verify that no short circuits are present between terminals and/
or speaker wires before applying power.
Do not install the PA 12-45 near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating vents, or other
apparatus that produces heat. Do not block any ventilation openings or heat sinks. Avoid installing
the PA 12-45 directly above other heat-producing equipment, unless sufficient ventilation or forced-air
cooling is provided.
Do not install the PA 12-45 in locations without proper ventilation. The PA 12-45 should not be
operated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The PA 12-45 should not be
installed in an enclosed location such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack, unless
sufficient forced-air ventilation is provided.
Connect the PA 12-45 to power sources only of the correct voltage, as shown in this manual and on
the PA 12-45. Ensure that the Input Voltage selector switch on the rear of the PA 12-45 is set to the
appropriate voltage.
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially
careful where the power cable enters the power outlet of the PA 12-45 unit.
Only connect the PA 12-45 to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating. DO
NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using
unsafe adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a
third ground prong in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third groundling prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. If you replace the PA 12-45 power cord, only use one of similar type of equal or
greater current rating.
