ADCOM PROTECTION PLAN
(U.S.A ONLY)
ADCOM offers the enclosed valuable Limited Warranty. Please read the details on the
Warranty card carefully to understand the extent of the protection offered by the Warranty,
its reasonable limitations, and what you should do in order to obtain its benefits. Please

Be sure to verify that the serial number printed on the rear panel matches the serial number
on the outer carton. If any number is altered or missing, you should notify us immediately
in order to insure that you have received a genuine ADCOM product which has not been
opened, mishandled or tampered with in any way.
UNPACKING
Before your GFA-585se left our plant, it was carefully inspected for physical imperfections
and tested for all electrical performance parameters as a routine part of ADCOM's systematic
Quality Control. This, along with full operational and mechanical testing, should insure a
product flawless in both appearance and performance. After you have unpacked the GFA-
585se, inspect it for physical damage. Save the shipping carton and all internal packing
materials, as they are intended to reduce to a minimum the possibility of transportation
damage, should the amplifier ever need to be shipped again. In the unlikely event damage
has occurred, notify your dealer immediately and request the name of the carrier so that a
written claim to cover shipping damages can be initiated.
THE RIGHT TO A CLAIM AGAINST A PUBLIC CARRIER CAN BE FORFEITED IF THE
CARRIER IS NOT NOTIFIED PROMPTLY IN WRITING AND IF THE SHIPPING CARTON
AND PACKING MATERIALS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION BY THE CARRIER.
SAVE ALL PACKING MATERIALS UNTIL THE CLAIM HAS BEEN SETTLED.
INSTALLING THE GFA-585se
The GFA-585se is equipped with large heatsinks to dissipate the heat generated by the
output power transistors. Although during normal home operation the heatsinks will become
just warm to the touch, there are instances during high-level playback into low impedance
speakers which will cause the heatsinks to become much warmer than normal.
Therefore,
adequate air circulation MUST be made available to ensure proper heat dissipation
from the heatsinks.
You will ensure the amplifier's long-term, trouble-free operation if you
