Laser Radiation Hazard
The
dCS P8i
is a Class 1 Laser Product, it complies with U.S. FDA 21CFR subchapter J. In normal
use, there is no risk of exposure to laser radiation.
!
The metal top cover must only be removed by authorised service personnel. The cover
protects the user from indirect exposure to visible and invisible laser radiation, as well
as risk of electric shock.
Mains Voltage Setting
Before connecting the power cable to your
P8i
for the first time, please check that it has been set to
the correct operating voltage for your mains supply. The unit’s voltage setting is shown on the label
beneath the mains inlet on the rear panel. If this does not match your local supply voltage, DO NOT
attempt to use the unit. Contact your dealer to have the unit reset. Using the
P8i
with the wrong mains
setting for your local supply may result in serious damage to the unit and will invalidate the warranty.
Do not attempt to reset the voltage yourself.
Power Cables
If you wish to use a power cable other than the one supplied, please ensure that it is a good fit to the
mains inlet, is not too fat, too stiff or too heavy.
Mains Regenerators
We do not recommend the use of mains regenerators. However, if you do wish to use a mains
regenerator with variable voltage and frequency, we recommend that you set the voltage to match
your local voltage and the frequency to either 50 or 60Hz ONLY.
!
Damage caused to your P8i by misuse of a mains regenerator or by a malfunctioning
mains regenerator is not covered by the warranty.
Positioning the unit
Place the
P8i
on a firm, vibration free base, allowing convenient connection to the other parts of your
system. For best results avoid siting the
P8i
either directly on or underneath preamplifiers or tuners. To
prevent overheating, we recommend that you leave some free space around the unit to allow for
ventilation.
