Notice regarding power disconnection
•
To completely disconnect the device from the mains power source the power
plug must be removed from the power socket. For this reason the device
must be placed in a position where a constant unobstructed access to the
power socket is assured, thus in an emergency situation you are able to
immediately pull out the power plug. To eliminate the risk of fire you should
completely disconnect the power plug from the power socket when the
device is not going to be used.
Always grasp the power cord by the plug. Do not pull on the cord itself and
•
never touch the power cord with wet hands as this could result in a short
circuit or an electrical shock. Do not place the device, speaker cabinets or
anything else on the power cord and make sure that it does not become
clamped. Place the power cord in a position where it can not be trod on.
A damaged power cord can cause a fire or an electrical shock. Check
the power cord from time to time. Should it become damaged contact our
customer service centre to have it replaced.
Never manipulate the power cord of the plug. If a power cord is provided
•
with an earth lead, this is mandatory to ensure safe operation!
Risk of fire!
NEVER leave the device unattended while it is switched on.
•
Never cover the ventilation slots of the device while it is switched on. Avoid
•
placing this device in locations that provide insufficient ventilation or hot
locations and do not place the device in direct sunlight or under strong
artificial light sources. Otherwise, it may overheat and become irreparably
damaged.
Do not place any open sources of fire, like candles, on the device.
•
When a thunderstorm with the risk of lightening threatens please disconnect
•
the device from the mains power.
Risk of personal injury!
Keep the power cable and device away from children. Children frequently
•
underestimate the dangers of electrical equipment.
Ensure a safe location for the device.
•
Do not operate the device if it has sustained a fall or is damaged. Arrange for
•
the device to be checked and/or repaired by qualified technicians.
Important! Keep sufficient distance from the device when operated
•
with high volume level. Listening to music with high sound pressure
level may cause permanent damage to your hearing!
Risk of damage!
Valve amps like GA5 may never be operated without a proper speaker load.
•
The impedance of the speaker load must exactly match the specifications
given in this manual. Otherwise the amplifier will be seriously damaged.
