INSTALLATION

2We recommend that you retain all packaging in case you need to transport the Akurate DS at a later date.

Positioning

You can position your Akurate DS almost anywhere you find convenient, but please consider the following points:

•The unit should be placed on a flat, stable and rigid surface.

•Do not position the unit where sunlight can shine (whether directly, diffused or reflected) on its display as the infra-red (IR) radiation in sunlight will be picked up by the unit’s IR remote sensor and this can adversely affect its operation. Similarly, some electrical devices such as plasma TVs, fluorescent lights and energy saving lamps can emit IR which can likewise affect the operation.

•For best performance do not stack the unit with other products. Ideally, position the unit on a shelf by itself or, if proximity to other products is unavoidable, positioning side-by-side is preferable to stacking.

•The unit should not be situated above, or directly adjacent to, sources of heat such as radiators, power amplifiers etc. Nor should it be enclosed in a cabinet with such devices.

•The unit itself produces very little heat; however it is advisable to allow a little space to the sides, rear and above the unit (ideally 10 cm / 4”) for air circulation which will allow any heat to dissipate.

Cleaning

Disconnect the Akurate DS from the power supply before cleaning. Remove dust and fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.

Connecting to the mains supply

The Akurate DS contains an automatic internal mains voltage switch. This switch operates on all worldwide mains voltages from 100 V to 240 V. The unit can be connected to any worldwide mains voltage with no adjustment.

This unit must be earthed. Use the earthed moulded mains lead supplied, or if no mains earth is available, ensure the product’s EARTH GROUND connector is connected to an earthing terminal.
