9.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided

manufacturer.
1.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a
cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug has been
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing,
and no object filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
16. This apparatus has been designed with Class-I construction
and must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection (the third grounding prong).
17. The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, so the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable.
18. This apparatus has been equipped with a double-pole AC
mains power switch. This switch is located on the rear panel
and should remain readily accessible to the user.
19. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital 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 harmful 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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device not
expressly approved by LOUD Technologies Inc. could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.
0.
This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B
(whichever is applicable) limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference
regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
ATTENTION —Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits
radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils numériques
de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des communications du
Canada.
1.
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent
hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to
noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some
hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of
time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level
exposures shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these
permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure
against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound
pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to
equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels
use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation.
Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must
be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set
forth here:
WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire
or electric shock, do not expose this
appliance to rain or moisture.
