Damagecausedbyinsufficientsupportisnotcoveredbythewarranty.
Topreventdamagetotheunit'spanels,alwaysuseprotectiveplasticcupsorwashersbeforetighteningmountingbolts.


PLEASENOTE:Usersmustensurethatanytypeofsmokeandrelatedsubstancesarenotallowedtoentertheamplifier.
Smokeyairiscorrosiveandprolongedexposurewillcauseirreparabledamagetoyouramplifier.
Donotexposetheamplifiertorainormoistureduringoperationorstorage.Iftheunitdoescomeintocontactwith
moisture,removetheACpowercordimmediatelyandleaveitinasuitablydryareatodry.Takeprecautionbefore
