WARNING

WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not 

expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

CAUTION

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral  

triangle is intended to alert the user to the prescence of uninsulated  

“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of  

significant magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO NOT OPEN!

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT  

REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.  

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended  

to alert the user of the prescence of important operating and  

maintaining (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying  

the appliance.

CAUTION — To prevent electric shock hazard, do not connect  

to mains power supply while grille is removed.

CAUTION – These servicing instructions are for use by 

qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric 

shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained 

in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

22.

 

WARNING:

 Please refer to the information on exterior bottom enclosure for electrical  

and safety information before installing or operating the apparatus.

23.

  The use of apparatus is in tropical climates.

24. NOTE:

 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 

digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.  

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,  

if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference  

will not occur in a particular installation. 

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,  

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged  

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver  

is connected.

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
 

CAUTION:

 Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by LOUD Audio, 

LLC. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.

25.

  This apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital 

apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department  

of Communications.

 

Canada ICES-003(B)/NMB-003(B)

 ATTENTION 

— Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques 

dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils  numériques de class A/de class B  

(selon le cas) prescrites dans le réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté  

par les ministere des communications du Canada.

26.

 

This equipment is a Class II or double insulated electrical appliance. It has been 

designed in such a way that it does not require a safety connection to electrical 

earth.

27.

  This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada’s license-exempt 

RSS standard(s). Operation is subjected to the following two conditions:  

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and  

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may 

cause undesired operation.

28.

  Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals  

vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone  

will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time.  

The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)  

has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.

 

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some 

hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure 

levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high 

sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs 

or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment 

in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth 

here:
