INSTALLATION
This section describes the unpacking and installation procedures for your new component.
Unpacking
All Cary Audio Design shipping crates have been specially designed to protect their contents and
special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions. Mishandling should
be evident upon inspection of the shipping container. If shipping damage is found after visual
inspection, take care not to destroy the evidence. If necessary, document the damage with
photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.
Carefully remove your new component from its packing carton and examine it closely for signs of
shipping damage. We strongly recommend saving all original packing cartons to protect your
component from damage should you wish to store it or ship it for after-sales service.
Warranty Card
IN THE USA:
If you are the original purchaser of a new unit from an AUTHORIZED CARY AUDIO
DESIGN DEALER, please fill out the enclosed warranty registration card and return it to Cary Audio
Design within 15 days of your purchase. Cary Audio Design also suggests that you keep your original
packing cartons in case you ever need to ship the unit when moving to a new home. Warranty
restrictions apply. Consult the warranty section at the end of this manual for details. Please be certain
to keep a copy of the original sales receipt from your AUTHORIZED CARY AUDIO DESIGN DEALER to
validate the warranty if ever needed. The warranty is for the original purchaser only and does not
transfer to any subsequent owner.
OUTSIDE THE USA:
Your local Authorized Cary Audio Design Distributor will make his own warranty
policy for your country. Please check with them for the terms of warranty for your new amplifier.
Placement
The CAD 211 FE is designed for use in homes. It must be protected from the elements and
temperature extremes. For example, avoid placing the unit in extremely hot locations such as near
radiators or other heating units. Its location among the user’s audio components is
not critical;
however, certain precautions must be taken. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and dusty areas.
Power Requirements
The CAD 211 FE is designed to operate from house current AC mains. The design voltage is 117 Volts
AC at 50/60Hz (Foreign units 234 Volts AC at 50/60Hz).
Speaker Cables
The speaker cables from the output posts of the CAD 211 FE to the speaker system can be any length
that your setup requires. Select speaker cables of sufficient size to preserve the outstanding
performance capabilities and sound quality of your new power amplifiers.
Heavy duty #14 gauge wire is suitable for distances up to 15 feet; #10 gauge is good for 25-30 feet.
Most audio dealers have high performance speaker cable in stock for this purpose. We strongly urge
you to try several types to find the best ones for your combination of components and speakers.
