Precautions & Warnings

USE COMMON SENSE AND ALWAYS OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS:

Amplifiers get hot and require adequate ventilation. Do not obstruct the top ventilation grille and

leave at least 10 cm of space behind the rear of the amplifier cabinet.

Do not expose the amplifier to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing water. Do not place objects filled

with liquids on or near the amplifier.

Do not expose the amplifier to high levels of dust, sand or salt.

Do not expose the unit to extended periods of direct sunlight or extremely high temperatures.

Ensure the supply voltage does not differ by more than 10 % from the value selected on the back

panel voltage switch.

Do not under any circumstances power on the amplifier if this condition is

not met.

Do not connect a speaker with impedance less than 8

.

Always ensure the amplifier is properly grounded.

Do not disassemble or modify anything by yourself unless instructed to do so in the Owner’s Manual.

Any repairs or servicing should be carried out by Rajani Amplifiers or by an authorised service centre.

Immediately turn the unit off, remove the power cord from the outlet, and request servicing by your

nearest authorised service centre when:

The power cord has been damaged; or

If smoke or unusual odor occurs; or

Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or

The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or

The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

Remove the power plug from the AC mains socket if the unit is to be stored for an extended period

of time. If there is any danger of lightning occurring nearby, disconnect the unit from the mains in

advance.

Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong impact.

Keep the amplifier away from children or drunk people.

Do not touch hot valves. Allow time for valves to cool before replacing them.

Use of the unit at high volume for extended periods of time may cause hearing loss. If you ever

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit and

consult a specialized physician.
