Important Precautions
This symbol is used
to alert the opera-
tor to follow impor-
tant operating pro-
cedures and precau-
tions detailed in
documentation.
This symbol is used
to warn operators
that uninsulated
"dangerous volta-
ges" are present
within the equip-
ment enclosure that
may pose a risk of
electric shock.
1.
Save the carton and
packing material
even if the equip-
ment has arrived in
good condition.
Should you ever need to
ship the unit, use only
the original factor y
packing.
2.
Read all documenta-
tion before operating
your equipment.
Retain all documenta-
tion for future referen-
ce.
3.
Follow all instructions
printed on unit chas-
sis for proper opera-
tion.
4.
Do not spill water or
other liquids into or
on the unit, or opera-
te the unit while
standing in liquid.
5.
Make sure power
outlets conform to
the power require-
ments
listed on the
back of the unit.
6.
Do not use the unit if
the electrical power
cord is frayed or
broken.
The power
supply cords should be
routed so that they are
not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items
placed upon or against
them, paying particular
attention to cords and
plugs,
convenience
receptacles, and the
point where they exit
from the appliance.
7.
Always operate the
unit with the AC
ground wire connec-
ted to the electrical
system ground.
Precautions should be
taken so that the means
of grounding of a piece
of equipment is not
defeated.
8.
Mains voltage must
be correct and the
same as that printed
on the rear of the
unit.
Damage caused by
connection to improper
AC voltage is not cove-
red by any warranty.
9.
Have gain controls on
amplifiers turned
down during power-
up
to prevent speaker
damage if there are high
signal levels at the
inputs.
10.
Power down &
disconnect units
from mains voltage
before making con-
nections.
11.
Do not use the unit
near stoves, heat
registers, radiators,
or other heat produ-
cing devices.
12.
Do not block fan
intake or exhaust
ports.
Do not operate
equipment on a surface
or in an environment
which may impede the
normal flow or air
around the unit, such as
a bed, rug, weathersheet,
carpet, or completely
enclosed rack. If the unit
is used in an extremely
dusty or smoky environ-
ment, the unit should be
periodically "blown free"
of foreign matter.
13.
Do not remove the
cover.
Removing the
cover will expose you to
potentially dangerous
voltages. There are no
user serviceable parts
inside.
14.
Connecting ampli-
fier outputs to oscilli-
scopes or other test
equipment while the
amplifier is in brid-
ged mode
may damage
both the amplifier and
test equipment.
15. Do not drive the inputs
with a signal level grea-
ter than that required to
drive equipment to full
output.
16.
Do not connect the
inputs/outputs of
amplifiers or conso-
les to any other vol-
tage source,
such as a
battery, mains source, or
power supply, regardless
of whether the amplifier
or console is turned on
or off.
17.
Do not run the out-
put of any amplifier
channel back into
another channel's
input. Do not paral-
lel-or series-connect
an amplifier output
with any other ampli-
fier output.
KIND is
not responsible for
damage to loudspeakers
for any reason.
18.
Do not ground any
red ("hot") terminal.
For connection of "hot"
terminals to get parallel
high current mode see
appropriate paragraph.
19.
Non-use periods.
The
power cord of equip-
ment should be unplug-
ged from the outlet
when left unusued for a
long period of time.
