does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord and plug from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits 

from the apparatus. 

11. Only use attachments and accessories specified by Rane.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use 

caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply 

cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,

15. The plug on the power cord is the AC mains disconnect device and must remain readily operable. To completely disconnect this apparatus from 

the AC mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.

16. This apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
17. When permanently connected, an all-pole mains switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole shall be incorporated in the 

electrical installation of the building. 

18. If rackmounting, provide adequate ventilation. Equipment may be located above or below this apparatus, but some equipment (like large power 

amplifiers) may cause an unacceptable amount of hum or may generate too much heat and degrade the performance of this apparatus.

19. This apparatus may be installed in an industry standard equipment rack. Use screws through all mounting holes to provide the best support.
