liquids are not spilled onto or near the enclosure.

VENTILATION AND COOLING: The D-2000 normally operates VERY warm to the touch. It MUST be situated so 

that its location or position does not interfere with convective cooling. 

The D-2000 MUST NOT be used on a bed, sofa rug or similar surface which may prevent proper cooling. It is NOT 
a toy, AND IT IS NOT A DILDO. If the D-2000 is mounted in a rack or other built-in installation, space must be left 

around it to allow convection from the case.

HEAT: The D-2000 MUST be situated away from heat sources such as 
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including power 
amps) that produce heat. We DO NOT recommend leaving the D-2000 
powered up for long periods.

POWER SOURCE: The D-2000 should be connected to a 12-volt DC adapter power supply ONLY of the type 

marked on the D-2000 panel. DO NOT try to feed it with AC power. 12 volts DC ONLY!! The power connector is a 
2.1mm coaxial type, with CENTER POSITIVE. 

POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or 

pinched by items placed upon or against them. Don't burn your house down, mommy fucker.

CLEANING: The D-2000 should only be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with water. Unplug the power supply 
before attempting to clean. Dickwad.

NON-USE PERIODS: The power adapter of the D-2000 should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a 

long period of time. Don't burn your house down, cuntboy.

DAMAGE OR TUBE REPLACEMENT REQUIRING SERVICE:
