BREAK-IN TIME

As with all audio electronic products, the ultimate sonic char- acter of the Amp 1 will not be realized until and unless the unit receives a minimum of approximately 70 hours of signal break-in time (i.e. the Amp 1 is on and outputting a signal).

PLACEMENT FOR PROPER VENTILATION

The Amp 1 requires a minimum of 12” (30cm) above and 6” (15cm) at each side, of unobstructed air space. Make sure that the ventilation slots on the top, sides and bottom remain unobstructed by any object. Do not stack any other component on top of the AMP 1 or block the ventilation slots in any way. Also, be sure that the AMP 1 is placed on a secure, hard and level surface, n o t on carpet.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.Ventilation - Your Amp 1 generates considerable heat in use, be sure that the ventilation slots in the top cover have at least 12” of unobstructed air space above them.

2.Water and Moisture - This product should not be used near water. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

3.Heat - This product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances which produce heat.

4.Power Sources - This product should be connected to an AC power source of the proper rated voltage. The original shipping container will stipulate the AC voltage this unit can operate with correctly.

5.Cleaning - A regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive cloth will generally keep the finish of the faceplate and chas- sis looking like new. At no time should you allow any liquid to come in contact with the Amp 1; it may run into the electron- ic circuitry and cause damage which will not be covered under your warranty.

6.Servicing - Do not open this product. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to an authorized service technician.
