SLA5500 in a wireless computer network.
•Please install and connect the product in the order described in this manual only. This
assures best installation results with the least technical hassles.
•Please read this guide carefully before using your SLA5500 and keep it for future
reference.

Safety Precautions
•NEVER MAKE OR CHANGE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POWER OF YOUR
AUDIO SYSTEM SWITCHED ON OR YOUR SLA5500 CONNECTED TO THE
MAINS.
•Before operating the SLA5500, check that the operating voltage indicated on the
nameplate of your SLA5500 is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
If not, please consult your dealer.
•Radio equipment for wireless applications is not protected against disturbance from
other radio services.
•The SLA5500 should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
No object filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.
•Do not expose the SLA5500 to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by
heating equipment or direct sunlight.
•Allow a sufficient amount of free space all around your SLA5500 for adequate
ventilation.
•Do not open this product. Contact your Philips retailer if you experience technical
difficulties.
•Place the SLA5500 on a flat, hard and stable surface.
When the SLA5500 is switched to standby mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the SLA5500 from the power supply completely, remove the AC power
plug from the wall socket.
•Make sure the air around your SLA5500 can circulate to prevent your SLA5500 from
overheating internally. Also, avoid putting any heat sources (e.g. a power amplifier)
underneath.
•To prevent your SLA5500 from overheating internally, never place anything on top of it.
