splashing and no objects filled with liquids 

such as a beverage shall be placed on top.
• When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change 

in performance this indicates a need for 

service.

apparatus or the apparatus has been exposed 

to rain or moisture, does not operate normally 

or has been dropped.  

• 

Damage requiring service: Unplug the

   c) If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or 

moisture.

   d) If the apparatus does not operate normally

by a qualified technician to restore the 

apparatus to its normal operation.

   e) If the apparatus has been dropped or 

damaged.

• 

Connecting: When you connect the amplifier 

unit to other equipment, turn off the power 

and unplug all of the equipment from the 

supply source. Failure to do so may cause an 

electric shock and serious personal injury. 

Read the user manual of the other equipment 

carefully and follow the instructions when 

making the connections.

• 

Sound Volume: Reduce the volume to 

minimum before you turn on the amplifier to 

prevent sudden high levels of noise which may 

cause hearing or speaker damage.

• 

Speakon connectors: WARNING: Speakon 

connectors marked with the lightning flashes 

indicate high voltages that are potentially life 

threatening. Wiring to these terminals requires 

installation by an instructed person and the use 

of ready made leads or cords.

• 

Custom wiring should only be carried out by 

qualified personnel.

• 

To prevent electric shock, do not operate the 

product with any of the conductor portion of 

the speaker wire exposed.

• 

NOTE: For reasons of safety and performance, 

use only high quality fully insulated speaker 

cables of stranded copper wire. Use the largest 

wire size that is economically and physically 

practical, and make sure the cables are no 

longer than necessary.
