When the unit is moved from a cold to a warm environment, allow sufficient time for any condensation to
evaporate before plugging the H-1202 into an AC connection.

See the notes on “Location, Location, Location”.
CLEANING
A.
Chassis
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth dampened slightly with water only (NO cleaning fluids!) to clean the faceplate and
chassis of the H-1202 and its power supply.
B.
Connectors
You may use any good quality contact cleaner recommended for such applications to clean the contacts from
time to time, as you deem appropriate.
INITIAL SET-UP
A.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Like all audio products using tubes, the Allnic Audio H-1202 needs to be placed on a solid stand in a location that
provides good air circulation around the phono-stage.
•
DO NOT cover the top of the H-1202 phono stage or tube chimneys.
•
DO NOT place the unit on carpet or foam.
•
DO NOT subject the unit to knocks and shocks as you move it around. This advice is meant particularly for
those who may want to place the H-1202 on some kind of after-market isolation feet or similar devices.
Dropping the H-1202 is not a good thing to do and may void the warranty.
•
DO NOT place the unit near a strong light or heat.
•
DO NOT place anything heavy on the unit.
•
DO NOT allow rubber or vinyl materials to rest on the unit’s chassis for long periods of time. This could
discolour the metal.
•
DO place the unit on a shelf or stand that is stable and not subject to vibration or sudden shock.
•
DO consider using a high quality power cord and inter-connects, for both inputs and outputs. The H-1202 is
a highly sensitive piece of electronic designed for neutrality and will output what you put into it. Allnic’s Zero
Loss Technology cables will work synergistically with the HPA-5000 XL.
•
DO try to place the H-1202 away from major sources of RFI and EMI; though well shielded, the H-1202 will
function best away from large power transformers and other sources of such interference.
B.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The H-1202 uses a standard three prong male IEC connection for AC input. You need to use a power cord with a
female three prong IEC connector at one end (See Figure 1).
The H-1202 is set internally for AC 110/120 volt – 60 HZ, or 220/230 – 50 HZ operation. There is no way to change
this to another AC setting without return of the unit to the factory for re-wiring, at the owner’s cost, including
transport both directions.
