• Please check the carton box for any kind of damage on reception of the goods. In case of a
damaged carton, please contact your dealer before opening the carton.
• !!!! Danger !!!! Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing
loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose
some hearing if exposed to suffi ciently intense noise for a suffi cient amount of time. Therefore
it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound
pressure levels, such as this amplifi er, be protected by hearing protection while installing or
operating this unit.
• Read all documentation before operating your equipment.

• Make sure power outlets conform to the power requirements listed on the back of the unit.
• Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken.
• Have gain controls on amplifi ers turned down during power-up to prevent speaker damage if
there are high signal levels at the inputs.
• Do not connect the inputs / outputs of amplifi ers or consoles to any other voltage source, such
as a battery, mains source, or power supply, regardless of whether the amplifi er or console is
turned on or off.
• Power down & disconnect units from mains voltage before making connections.
• Do not use the unit near stoves, heat registers, radiators, or other heat producing devices.
• Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover will expose you to potentially dangerous
voltages.
