SAFETY AND WARNINGS
To take full advantage of your new product and enjoy long and trouble-free performance, please read this owner's manual carefully, and
keep it in a safe place for future reference.
1) Unpacking: On unpacking your product, please check carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred whilst in transit from the
HH factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event that there has been damage, please re-pack your unit in its original carton and consult
your dealer. We strongly advise you to keep your original transit carton, since in the unlikely event that your unit should develop a fault,
you will be able to return it to you dealer for rectification securely packed.
2) Amplifier Connection: To avoid damage, generally it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off your system.
With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, mixers, effects processors etc, BEFORE turning on your amplifier. Many
products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause damage to your speakers. By turning on your amplifier LAST
and making sure its level control is set to a minimum, any transients from other equipment should not reach your loudspeakers. Wait till
all system parts have stabilised, usually a couple of seconds. Similarly, when turning off your system always turn down the level controls
on your amplifier and then turn off its power before turning off other equipment.
3) Cables: Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be substantial enough to handle the
amplifier load and could cause damage to your complete system. Use good quality shielded cables everywhere else.
4) Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
5) Heed all warnings.
6) Follow all instructions.
7) Do not use this apparatus near water.
8) Clean only with a dry cloth.
9) Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
10) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
11) An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective connection. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
12) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from
the apparatus.
13) Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.
14) Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
15) The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable. The user should allow easy
access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable. Unplug this
apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
16) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
17) Never break off the ground pin. Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
18) If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
19) Note for UK only: If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as
follows:
oThe wire that is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚
coloured green or coloured green and yellow.
oThe wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or
the colour black.
oThe wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or
the colour red.
20) This electrical apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and care should be taken not to
place objects containing liquids, such as vases, upon the apparatus.
21) Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to
sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
specified the following permissible noise level exposures: According to OSHA, any exposure more than the above permissible limits
could result in some hearing loss. Earplugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this
amplification system to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is more than the limits as set forth above. To ensure against
potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of
producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in
operation.
22) If your appliance features a tilting mechanism or a kickback style cabinet, please use this design feature with caution. Due to the ease
with which the amplifier can be moved between straight and tilted back positions, only use the amplifier on a level, stable surface. DO
NOT operate the amplifier on a desk, table, shelf or otherwise unsuitable non-stable platform.
