CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT POLICY

Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products. This means that designs and specifications are subject to change without notice.

NOTE: All specification values are typical unless otherwise stated.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

The P7 is an audio device which has been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

The unit can radiate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, keep the P7 and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the P7 and the tuner to different mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.

EC COUNTRIES –These products have been designed to comply with directive 89/336/EEC.

USA – These products comply with FCC requirements.
