NOTICE - IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

C A U T I O N

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

!

DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsu- lated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure, that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompa- nying the appliance.

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS

All the safety and operating instructions of your Hafler equip- ment should be read before power is applied to the equipment.

2. RETAIN OWNER'S MANUAL

These safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

provide the same three wire grounded connection. It is impor- tant that the blades of the equipment plug be able to fully insert into the mating receptacle. Never remove the round grounding pin on the plug in an attempt to mate to a two wire ungrounded receptacle: use a grounding adapter with the grounding tab or wire suitably connected to earth ground.

3. HEED WARNINGS

All warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions are important and should be followed.

11. NON-USE PERIODS

During periods of extended non-use, the power cord should be unplugged from the power source.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

All operating and use instructions are important and should be followed.

12. CLEANING

The equipment should be cleaned only as detailed in the oper- ating instructions.

5. HEAT

The equipment should be kept away from areas of high temper- ature, i.e., heater vents, radiators, stoves/ovens, fireplaces, etc.

13. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Care should be taken so that objects and/or liquids, such as cleaning fluids or beverages, are not spilled into the enclosure of the equipment.

6. VENTILATION

The equipment should be used in an area suitable for proper ventilation. Care should be taken not to impede airflow in and around the cabinet.

7. WATER AND MOISTURE

The equipment should not be used in or around water, such as a bathtub, sink, or swimming area. Also, the equipment should not be used in areas prone to flooding, such as a basement.

8. POWER SOURCES

The equipment should be connected only to a power source of the same voltage and frequency as that listed on the rear panel above the power cord entry point.

9. POWER CORD PROTECTION

Power cords should be arranged so they do not interfere with the movement of objects in the room: people, fan blades, utility carts, etc. Also, care should be taken that the cord is not pinched or cut, and placed so it is not in danger of being pinched or cut, as in under a rug, around a tight corner, etc.

10. POWER CORD GROUNDING

The power supply cord is of a three wire grounded type, designed to reduce the risk of electric shock sustained from a live cabinet. It is assumed to be of suitable length for most uses of the equipment. The use of extension cords and power strips is discouraged unless they are of suitable rating to deliver the required total current for safe operation of all connected equipment. Furthermore, extension cords or power strips must

14. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Hafler equipment should be serviced by qualified service per- sonnel when:

A.The power supply cord or plug has been damaged, or

B.Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has been spilled into the equipment, or

C.The equipment has been exposed to rain, or

D.The equipment does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or

E.The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure has been damaged.

15.SERVICING

The user should not attempt to service the equipment beyond that which is described in the operating instructions. All other service should be referred to qualified service personnel.

16. CARTS AND STANDS

The equipment should be used with carts or stands only of suf- ficient strength and stability for the use intended.

An equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops and starts, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to topple.
