INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Caution:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the
back panel. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel.

Explanation of Graphical Symbols:

The lightning flash within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert you to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute an electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
WARNINGS:
1 Read Instructions – All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated.
2 Retain Instructions – The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3 Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance
and in the operating instructions should be
adhered to.
4 Follow Instructions – All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
5 Installation – Install in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
6 Power Sources – This product should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated by
the marking situated on the rear panel. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power
company.
7 Grounding or Polarisation – The appliance is not
required to be grounded. Ensure the plug is fully
inserted into the wall outlet or extension cord
receptacle to prevent blade or pin exposure. Some
versions of the product are equipped with a power
cord fitted with a polarised alternating line plug (a
2
plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit onto the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarised plug.
When using an extension power-supply cord or a
power-supply cord other than that supplied with
the appliance, it should be fitted with the
appropriate moulded-on plugs and carry safety
approval appropriate to the country of use.
8 Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
9 Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or integral convenience
receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
10 Ventilation – The amplifier panel at the rear of the
product forms part of the cooling mechanism and
must not be obscured by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not
cover the amplifier panel with any items such as
tablecloths, newspapers, etc. Ensure the heat sink
fins are aligned vertically to ensure proper cooling.
There should be a clear gap of at least 50mm (2-
in) between the back of the product and any wall
or partition. If the product is placed in a built-in
installation, such as a rack, bookcase or cabinet,
proper provision for air to circulate must be
provided, either by a) 12mm (1/2-in) clear gap
round the top, sides and bottom of the product
venting into the room or b) two ducts of 150 sq cm
(24 sq in) minimum cross section from the room
leading to slots 300mm (12-in) wide x 50mm
(2-in) deep at top and bottom of the compartment,
in line with the gap behind the product.
11 Heat – The product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat. No naked flame sources, such as
lighted candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
12 Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
13 Water and Moisture – To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not expose the product to rain
or excessive moisture such as in a sauna or
bathroom. Do not use this product near water – for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool and the like.
