Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage and Amperage Before
Use:
Your new Backline unit has been factory
configured for use with:
120 Volt/60Hz 15 Amp circuit for USA &
Canada.
230 Volt/50Hz 10 Amp circuit for Europe
& Australia.
100 Volt/50Hz 15 Amp circuit for Japan.
Proper AC circuit for all other countries.
Connecting the amplifier to a line with specifications
other than indicated above can create a safety and fire
hazard, and may damage the amplifier. If you have any
questions about the voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your
dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Verify AC Circuit Capacity Before Use:
The high power output of your amplifier may require
heavy current draw under Full-Load conditions. To insure
proper performance and avoid potential safety hazards, we
recommend connection to line circuits with Amperage
specified “as above”. Connecting multiple amplifiers to
the same circuit, or connecting the amplifier to the same
circuit used by other heavy-power devices, such as high-
wattage lights, may cause circuit breakers to trip. It is
always a good idea to avoid using any audio equipment
on the same AC circuit as equipment with motors, such as
air conditioners or refrigerators. This will lessen to
possibility of power variation and electrical start-up noise
affecting your sound.
Warning:
Do not disconnect or plug in the
instrument/speaker cable with the amplifier
power on. Be sure the amplifier unit is turned
off before connecting anything to it.
Do Not Use Extension Cords:
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied
with your unit. If a replacement cord is used, make
certain that it is of consistent quality and gauge as the
original. We do not recommend using extension cords
with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run
power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects
on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced
immediately with cords meeting factory specifications.
Handle The AC Power Cord Gently:
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet,
always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not
intend to use the amplifier for a considerable length of
time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
Mains Disconnect:
If the AC mains has to be completly disconnected, the
plug/power cord is used as the mains disconnect device
and shall remain readily operable.
Do Not Open The Amplifier Enclosure:
There are no user-serviceable components inside this
product. Opening the amplifier enclosure may present a
shock hazard, and modification to the product will void
your warranty. If liquid enters the unit, or any metal
object such as a paper clip, wire, or staple accidentally
falls inside the enclosure, disconnect the unit from the AC
power source immediately and consult an authorized
service station.
Unpacking:
The carton and packing materials used in shipping your
new amplifier were specially designed to cushion it from
the shocks and vibration that occur during transport. We
suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for
use in shipping, in the event you move, or the amplifier
needs repair.
