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 power- supply cord or plug is 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.

Prior to power-up for the first time ensure that the THE ROCK is set to the correct voltage (see 'Power'

workstation, etc., is set to zero.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to your hearing, THE ROCK, and lead to a 
possible fire risk.
