Precautions
Verify The Line Voltage
Your new RR 2150 has been factory configured for 120 (+/- 3%) volt AC lines. Connecting the unit to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the RR 2150. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact Outlaw Audio before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
NOTE: It is always a good idea to avoid using any audio or video equipment on the same AC circuit as equipment with motors, such as air conditioners or refrig- erators. This will lessen the possibility of power variation and electrical start-up noise affecting your sound system.
Power Cord
The removable power cord that is shipped with the RR 2150 is specifically designed to be used with this product. DO NOT use any other power cord, as that may reduce the unit’s performance and possibly create a safety hazard. In particular, DO NOT use standard IEC type power cords designed for computers and other business equipment products, as they have a three prong plug that is not meant for use with the RR 2150. Should the power cord require replacement, use an identical type, or contact Outlaw Audio for service.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the RR 2150 for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet. If the power cord is replaced, make certain that it is of similar gauge. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately with cords meeting factory specifications.
AC Fuse
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-service-able. If power does not come on, contact your authorized service station.
Wiring
Cables that are run inside of walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate com- pliance with, and listing by the UL , CSA or other standards required by the UL, CSA, NEC or your local building code. Questions about cables inside of walls should be referred to a qualified custom installer, or a licensed electrician or low-voltage contractor.
Installation Location
To assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface capable of supporting it’s weight. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the unit and any additional items in the equipment rack, or on the shelf.
When positioning the RR 2150 in its final location, make certain that it has adequate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom. In particular, it is a good idea to provide at least two or three inches of room above the unit for air circulation. DO NOT place CDs, DVDs, videotapes, owner’s manuals, or other paper on top of, or beneath, the unit, or in-between multiple amplifiers in a stack. This will block airflow, causing heat build-up, degraded performance, and may create a possible fire hazard.
If the unit is to be enclosed in a cabinet or rack, make certain there is adequate air circula- tion. Sufficient ventilation should be provided so that hot air may exit, and cool air may enter the cabinet. In some instances, a small cooling fan may be required to insure adequate airflow through the cabinet. If you are in doubt as to the ventilation requirements for your specific installation, please contact us. Also, do not place the RR 2150 directly on a carpeted surface, as this will inhibit airflow underneath as well as create a potential fire hazard.
Avoid installation in humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, or in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or space heating equipment.
Do Not Open The Cabinet
There are no user serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object, such as a paper clip, coin or a staple, accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and contact Outlaw Audio for further instructions.

Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
FCC Information for User
CAUTION: ANY changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Outdoor Antenna Installation
Safe Antenna and cable Connection
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the an- tenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage surges. Section 810 of the national Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the
grounding elec- trode.
Keep
Antenna
Clear of High
Voltage Power
Lines or Circuits
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact
with these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.
