IMPORTANT

The XLS Series amplifi ers require Class 2 output wiring.

MAGNETIC FIELD

CAUTION! Do not locate sensitive high-gain equipment such as preamplifi ers or tape decks directly above or below the unit. Because this amplifi er has a high power density, it has a strong magnetic fi eld which can induce hum into unshielded devices that are located nearby. The fi eld is strongest just above and below the unit.

If an equipment rack is used, we recommend locating the amplifi er(s) in the bottom of the rack and the preamplifi er or other sensitive equipment at the top.

WATCH FOR THESE SYMBOLS:

The lightning bolt triangle is used to alert the user to the risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point triangle is used to alert the user to important operating or maintenance instructions.
