to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

4.Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat and ensure adequate air circulation around the rear of the product.

9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding-type plug. A polarised plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, wall sockets, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

13.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14.WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.

15.To completely disconnect this equipment from the mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the wall socket.

16.The mains plug on the power supply cord shall remain readily accessible.

17.SAFETY WARNING: This product design uses amplifier output stages with substantial standing currents for optimal sound quality. Fit and use the protective heat shield when adjusting the feature controls above the heatsink, to prevent contact with uncomfortably hot surfaces when monitoring at continuously high sound pressure levels. Use the small tool provided to adjust the switches in accordance with the instructions in the user manual.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Check that the voltage rating displayed on the rear panel is correct for your area before connecting. If it is incorrect, please refer to your local dealer or authorised service agent, as no user adjustment is provided.

Warning!

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Be advised that different operating voltages require the use of different types of line cord and attachment plugs.

Check the voltage in your area and use the correct type. See table below:

Service

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Qualified personnel must perform all service. Servicing is required when: -

The unit has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

The unit has been exposed to rain or moisture, or liquid has been spilled into the unit.

Objects have fallen into the unit.

The unit does not work properly.

The unit has been dropped.

EUROPEAN MODELS

A mains cable is supplied with an IEC moulded socket at one end and a moulded mains plug at the other end. Where the moulded plug is fitted with a mains fuse, always replace with the same 5A rated fuse. If the fitted plug is unsuitable for your type of outlet sockets, it should be cut off and disposed of safely, in case it is inserted into a live socket elsewhere. The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH

BLUE NEUTRAL

BROWN LIVE
