• Be sure to read the instructions in this section carefully before use.
• Make sure to observe the instructions in this manual as the conventions of safety
symbols and messages regarded as very important precautions are included.
• We also recommend you keep this instruction manual handy for future reference.
Safety symbol and message conventions
Safety symbols and messages described below are used in this manual to prevent bodily
injury and property damage which could result from mishandling. Before operating your
product, read this manual rst and understand the safety symbols and messages so you are
thoroughly aware of the potential safety.
Warning
When installing the unit
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or
other liquids,as doing so may result in re or electric shock.
• Use the unit only with the voltage specied on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that
which is specied may result in re or electric shock.
• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the power supply cord. In addition,
avoid using the power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects
(including the unit itself) on the power cord, as doing so may result in re or electric
shock.
• Be sure to replace the unit’s terminal cover after connection completion. Because high
voltage is applied to the speaker terminals, never touch these terminals to avoid electric
shock.
• Be sure to ground to the safety ground (earth) terminal to avoid electric shock. Never
ground to a gas pipe as a catastrophic disaster may result.
• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a
slanted surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling down, causing personal injury and
/ or property damage.
When the unit is in use
• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch o the power,
disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest dealer.
Make no further attempt to operate the unit in this conditions this may cause re or
electric shock, ...
- If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.
- If water or any metallic object gets into the unit.
- If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks.
- If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc)
- If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds)
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled,
could result in death or serious personal injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled,
could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property
damage.

• To prevent a re or electric shock, never open or remove the unit case as there are high
voltage components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to your nearest dealer.
• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid or metallic objects on top of the
unit. If they accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a re or electric shock.
• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or ammable materials in the ventilation slots of
the unit’s cover, as this may result in re or electric shock.
Caution
When installing the unit
• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause
electric shock.
• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug; never
pull on the cord itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply cord may cause
a re or electric shock.
• When moving the unit, be sure to remove its power supply cord from the wall outlet.
Moving the unit with the power cord connected to the outlet may cause damage to the
power cord, resulting in re or electric shock. When removing the power cord, be sure to
hold its plug to pull.
• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit’s cover. Doing so may cause heat to build up
inside the unit and result in re.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct
sunlight, near the heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing
otherwise may result in re or electric shock.
When the unit is in use
• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch o the power,
disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest dealer.
Make no further attempt to operate the unit in this conditions this may cause re or
electric shock, ...
• To prevent a re or electric shock, never open or remove the unit case as there are high
voltage components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to your nearest dealer.
• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid or metallic objects on top of the
unit. If they accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a re or electric shock.
• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or ammable materials in the ventilation slots of
the unit’s cover, as this may result in re or electric shock.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may
result in personal injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall o
and cause injury and / or damage.
• Make sure that the volume control is set to minimum position before power is switched
on. Loud noise produced at high volume when power is switched on can impair hearing.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. This is
an indication of a malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate and result in a
re.
• Contact your dealer as to the cleaning. If dust is allowed to accumulate in the unit over a
long period of time, a re or damage to the unit may result.
• If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the wall AC outlet, a re may result.
Clean it periodically. In addition, insert the plug in the wall outlet securely.
• Switch o the power, and unplug the power supply plug from the AC outlet for safety
purposes when cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more. Doing otherwise
may cause a re or electric shock.

4. NOMENCLATURE AND FUNCTIONS
a. Front panel
Heavy-duty public address power ampliers deliver clean audio power 650 watts RMS with
less than 0.5% distortion. Rugged and overbuilt to provide years of reliable service they
are equipped with toroidal transformers, extensive heat-sinking, forced fan cooling and
protective circuits against short-circuit, clipping and over-temperature.
• Rated outputs : 650W
• 100V/70V constant voltage outputs and 4~16 ohms constant resistance outputs.
• Commercial-grade torroidal transformers produce high performance audio on a wide
range of frequencies with minimal noise and high delity, even at high volume.
• Intelligent limiter can reduce excess signal.
• Reliable protection against overload, short circuit, and power uctuation for optimum
reliability.
• Heat sinks and fan protect against overheating, protecting the ampliers working life.
• Rubber feet and rack mount ears-may be placed on tables or installed in rack mount
cabinets.
