Unpacking and Inspection

Save all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the unit. Thoroughly inspect the unit and
packing materials for signs of damage. Report any shipment damage to the carrier at once; report
equipment malfunction to your dealer.

Precautions

Save these instructions for later use.

Follow all instructions and warnings marked on the unit.

Always use with the correct line voltage. Refer to the manufacturer’s operating instructions for power
requirements. Be advised that different operating voltages may require the use of a different line
cord and/or attachment plug.

Do not install the unit in an unventilated rack, or directly above heat-producing equipment such as
power amplifiers. Observe the maximum ambient operating temperature listed in the product spec-
ification.

Slots and openings on the case are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation and prevent
it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind
through any of the ventilation slots. Never spill a liquid of any kind on the unit.

This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature and should not
be defeated.

To prevent shock or fire hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture, or operate it where it will
be exposed to water.

Do not attempt to operate the unit if it has been dropped, damaged, exposed to liquids, or if it
exhibits a distinct change in performance indicating the need for service.

This unit should only be opened by qualified service personnel. Removing covers will expose you to
hazardous voltages.

This triangle, which appears on your component, alerts you to the presence 
of uninsulated, dangerous voltage inside the enclosure...voltage that may be 
sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.

This triangle, which appears on your component, alerts you to important operating
and maintenance instructions in this accompanying literature.
