After successful installation and configuration of the amplifier, be sure to retain this manual in a safe place for any future reference needs.

If you don't feel comfortable performing the installation of audio/video entertainment equipment, it is advised that you seek the services of a qualified installation professional.

NEVER use Ultra Series amplifiers near water such as a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. There is a risk of electric shock to your body and permanent damage to the equipment. Electric shock may result in permanent bodily injury or death.

Should you choose to install the amplifier in a closed equipment rack be sure to add forced air ventilation to provide adequate air circulation. The amplifier should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators or other heat producing devices.

Emotiva amplifiers should be connected only to a power supply as described in this Operation Manual or shown on the label located on the back of the amplifier. The power cord should be routed so that it avoids high foot traffic areas; and, placement of the power cord should avoid locations where heavy items may be place upon or against it. Special attention should be given where the power cord will plug into the wall outlet, convenience receptacles, and the point where the power cord attaches to the Ultra Series Amplifier.

The power cord of the amplifier should be unplugged from the outlet when unused for a long period of time. Never spray liquids directly into the component’s vent openings. Care should be taken so that small objects do not fall into the inside of the amplifier.
