SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin
2.1.1.
In case of emergency: disconnect the plug from the mains supply
Never use an amplifier that is damaged or faulty. Make sure it has been labeled as de-
fective and that it cannot be used until it has been repaired by a qualified service engi-
neer.
2.1.2.
Do not open the case
There are dangerously high voltages inside this equipment. Never allow anyone except
qualified personnel to open the case.
2.1.3.
Service and maintenance
For reasons of safety, please ensure that servicing, repairs and other modifications to
OCTAVE equipment are carried out only by a qualified technician. Defective fuses
should also only be replaced by a qualified technician. Always replace fuses with ones
of the same type and rating. If your amplifier requires servicing, please ship or take your
equipment directly to OCTAVE or to one of our authorized service centers.
2.1.4.
Before connecting
Make sure that the voltage of your amplifier matches your local supply voltage.
2.1.5.
Placement
The equipment is designed strictly for use in a dry domestic environment. Do not use
it in open air or in damp environments!
Never place plants or liquid-filled containers on the equipment. Take care that ob-
jects do not fall or liquids are not spilled into the enclosure. Should this happen,
disconnect the mains plug immediately and have your amplifier checked by a quali-
fied service technician.
Condensation may form if the amplifier is taken from a cold environment into a warm
one. In this case, wait until the amplifier has reached room temperature and is dry
before switching it on.
Avoid installing the equipment close to sources of heat, such as heaters, or any-
where that it may be in direct sunlight.
Do not operate the equipment near flammable materials, gases, or vapors. Avoid
areas where there may be heavy accumulations of dust or where the amplifier may
be subject to mechanical vibration.
Place your equipment on a stable, even surface.
