If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it
on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off
until it has reached room temperature.
Please make sure that there are no obvious transport damages. Should you notice any damages on the A/C
connection cable or on the casing, do not take the device into operation and immediately consult your local
dealer.
This device falls under protection-class I. The power plug must only be plugged into a protection class I
outlet. The voltage and frequency must exactly be the same as stated on the device. Wrong voltages or
power outlets can lead to the destruction of the device and to mortal electrical shock.
Always plug in the power plug least. The power plug must always be inserted without force. Make sure that
the plug is tightly connected with the outlet.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections
with the mains with particular caution! Never touch them with wet hands, as this could lead to mortal
electrical shock.
Never modify, bend, strain mechanically, put pressure on, pull or heat up the power cord. Never operate next
to sources of heat or cold. Disregard can lead to power cord damages, fire or mortal electrical shock.
The cable insert or the female part in the device must never be strained. There must always be sufficient
cable to the device. Otherwise, the cable may be damaged which may lead to mortal damage.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the
power-cord from time to time.
If extension cords are used, make sure that the core diameter is sufficient for the required power
consumption of the device. All warnings concerning the power cords are also valid for possible extension
cords.
Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the
power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord. Otherwise, the cable or plug can
be damaged leading to mortal electrical shock. If the power plug or the power switch is not accessible, the
device must be disconnected via the mains.
If the power plug or the device is dusty, the device must be taken out of operation, disconnected and then be
cleaned with a dry cloth. Dust can reduce the insulation which may lead to mortal electrical shock. More
severe dirt in and at the device should only be removed by a specialist.
There must never enter any liquid into power outlets, extension cords or any holes in the housing of the
device. If you suppose that also a minimal amount of liquid may have entered the device, it must immediately
be disconnected. This is also valid, if the device was exposed to high humidity. Also if the device is still
running, the device must be checked by a specialist if the liquid has reduced any insulation. Reduced
insulation can cause mortal electrical shock.
There must never be any objects entering into the device. This is especially valid for metal parts. If any metal
parts like staples or coarse metal chips enter into the device, the device must be taken out of operation and
disconnected immediately. Malfunction or short-circuits caused by metal parts may cause mortal injuries.
The device and all connections have to be lightning protected.
Never install the amplifier next to highly sensitive devices like pre-amplifiers or tape-decks, as the strong
magnetic field of the amplifier can produce hum in these devices. The magnetic field is strongest directly
above or below the amplifier. If a rack is used, the amplifier should be installed at the bottom and the highly
sensitive devices at the top.
Only connect the device when the power switch is off.
Never connect the inputs or outputs to any power source (batteries, etc.)
