Avoid allowing static shocks to be applied to the inputs or outputs. To prevent static shocks, touch any grounded surface, such as the chassis of a component that is plugged into an AC socket, before connecting or removing a cable. It is unlikely that a static shock will damage the unit, but it may cause the Wadia 301 CD circuitry to lock-up (see Trouble Shooting in Appendices).

Inputs and outputs can be safely connected to the Wadia 301 CD:

•When the AC power is switched off OR

•When the unit is in Relay-Mute mode (See Mute in Operation)

Connecting to AC Power

Check to make sure your Wadia 301 CD has been manufactured for operation at your AC line voltage. Attempting to use your Wadia 301 CD at any voltage other than specified on the rear of the unit may cause damage that is not covered by Wadia’s warranty.
