laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.
Mounting in a wall or ceiling:
The product should be in-
stalled strictly in accordance with the instructions, guidelines
and recommendations provided by Proficient.
Ventilation:
The product should be situated in such a place
that its proper ventilation and performance are not hindered.
For example, the product should not be situated on a bed,
sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the ventilation
openings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as a book-
case or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the
ventilation openings.
Heat:
The product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, stoves, or other appliances that produce
heat.
Power source:
The product should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions
or as marked on the product.
Power-cord protection:
Power-supply cords should be routed
so that they won’t be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Pay special attention to cords at their
plug ends and the points where they exit from the products.
Cleaning:
The amplifier should be kept clean and relatively
dust-free to ensure cool, reliable operation. Wipe it occasion-
ally with a dry, lint-free cloth, using particular care around the
back-panel connections.
Periods of non-use:
The power cord should be unplugged
from the outlet if the amplifier is to go unused for a long pe-
riod of time.
Entry by objects/liquids:
Care should be taken so that small
objects and liquids are not allowed to enter the product. The
entry of foreign substances could result in equipment mal-
function and pose a risk of fire.
Carts and stands:
The product should be used only with a cart
or stand that is recommended by Proficient.
Damage requiring service:
The amplifier should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
a.
The power-supply cord or plug has been damaged.
b.
Objects have fallen onto the product or liquid has been
spilled into it.
c.
The product has been exposed to rain.
d.
The product does not appear to be working normally or is
showing significantly less performance.
e.
The product has been dropped, or the cabinet has been
damaged.
Service:
The end user should not attempt to service the prod-
uct. All repairs should be handled by a qualified technician.

A lightning bolt with an arrowhead in a tri-
angle, whether located on the product or in
the manual, calls attention to the presence of
non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product enclosure. Direct or indirect bodily
contact with such voltage poses a risk of electric
shock, injury or death.
An exclamation point within a triangle, either on
the product or in the manual, calls attention to
important operating and maintenance (servic-
ing) instructions.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the cover or rear panel from the
amplifier. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Instead,
refer all repairs to a qualified technician. Observance of this
precaution will dramatically reduce the risk of exposure to
high voltages.
