Cary Audio Design CAD 200, CAD 500 Factory Service, Non-WarrantyRepairs, Warnings, Cautions

SERVICE AND CARE ________________________________________________

The chassis may be cleaned with a soft towel and Windex® or a similar window cleaner. Spray it on the cleaning cloth to moisten it, not on the component. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals to clean the preamplifier. They may remove the labels from the chassis. The frequency and need of cleaning will be governed by operating environmental conditions. Avoid letting the component become dusty or wet. A ‘feather duster’ type cleaner will also work well for cleaning the component.

WARNINGS

Make no attempt to put the CAD 500 MB or CAD 200 amplifier in service outside of the cabinet - Contact with high voltages found inside the unit can be fatal! Completely remove AC power plug from the wall and allow 30 minutes for the high voltage capacitors to discharge through bleeder resistors before attempting to clean the inside of the amplifier.

CAUTIONS

Never remove/insert the AC plug when the unit is on or the AC power switch is in the “ON” position. Obstruction of the top portion of the CAD 500 MB or CAD 200 power amplifier will result in overheating.
