the cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualified
personnel.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Warning: Important Safeguards
•
Read instructions:
All safety and operating instructions
should be read before the unit is operated.
•
Retain instructions:
The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
•
Heed warnings:
All warnings on the unit and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
•
Follow instructions:
All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
•
Water and Moisture:
Do not use the unit near water – for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool.
•
Heat:
The unit should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
•
Power Sources:
The unit should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your unit dealer or local power company.
•
Grounding or Polarization:
The unit may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a
licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
•
Power-Cord Protection:
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 where they enter a plug, a
convenience receptacle, and the point where they exit from
the unit.
•
Lightning:
For added protection for the unit during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect any antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lighting and power-line surges.
•
Cleaning:
unplug the unit from the wall outlet before
cleaning. The unit should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
Overloading:
Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
•
Object and Liquid Entry:
Never push objects of any kind
into the unit through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the unit.
•
Servicing:
Do not attempt to service the unit yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
•
Damage Requiring Service:
Unplug the unit from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged,
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
unit,
If the unit has been exposed to rain or water,
If the unit does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the unit to its normal operation,
If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
great care should be exercised in handling, and the unit
should be examined by qualified service personnel,
When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance
(this indicates a need for service).
•
Replacement Parts:
When replacement parts are
required, be sure the replacement parts used have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
Before connecting a new component such as the Ultra-X13 to
your audio or home theater system it is always good practice
to make certain that all components are turned off, and
preferably unplugged from their AC power source. Many
modern electronics products feature automatic turn-on circuits
that may be activated during an installation, causing the
potential for damage to electronic components. Such damage
is not covered by product warranties and Outlaw Audio
specifically disclaims responsibility for any such damage.
Precautions
Verify the Line Voltage
Your new Ultra-X13 has been factory configured for 120V
(+/-3%) AC lines. Connecting the unit to a line voltage other
than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire
hazard, and may damage the Ultra-X13. If you have any
questions about the voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact Outlaw
Audio before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
NOTE: It is always a good idea to avoid using any audio or
video equipment on the same AC circuit as equipment with
motors, such as air conditioners or refrigerators. This will
lessen the possibility of power variation and electrical start-up
noise affecting your sound system.
Power Cord
The removable power cord that is shipped with the Ultra-X13 is
specifically designed to be used with this product. DO NOT
use any other power cord, as that may reduce the unit’s
performance and possibly create a safety hazard. In particular,
DO NOT use standard IEC type power cords designed for
computers and other business equipment products, as they
have a three-prong plug that is not meant for use with the
Ultra-X13. Should the power cord require replacement, use an
identical type, or contact Outlaw Audio for service.
