CARE and HANDLING | 12 |
The interior of the unit requires no special care, due to the use of sealed controls and gold plating on contacts. If it becomes necessary to clean the exterior, a simple dusting may be all that is required. If a cleaner is necessary, any dilute commercial ammonia based product will be appropriate. NEVER use any abrasive rags, cleaners or chemical solvents on the preamp.
When removing the cover to set the loading switches or otherwise handling the unit, take care not to mar the aluminum. Aluminum is a medium hardness metal and can be scratched by the harder tool steels.
Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight, and keep it away from sources of intense heat.
If you wish to rack mount your FET PREAMPLIFIER 01, it is advised to place nylon washers under the heads of the mounting screws to avoid scratching the anodized finish.
Do not throw away the carton or associated packing material. They are ideal if you need to pack the unit for moving and in the unlikely event that servicing is needed, they will be necessary for safe shipment.
Be sure to provide adequate insurance when shipping.
