Safety Information - Gallien-Krueger MB115 Owner's Manual

Safety Information

Please read all enclosed safety precautions before
connecting or operating this product.
Verify Line Voltage and Amperage: Your new
amplifier has been factory configured for use
with the specific line voltage for your location:
100-120 Volt/60Hz
USA/Canada.
220-240 Volt/(50/60Hz) 10 A circuit for
UK/Australia.
220-240 Volt/(50/60Hz) 10 A
Europe.
100-120 Volt/50Hz 15 A circuit for Japan.
220-240 Volt/50Hz 10 A circuit for Korea.
Proper AC circuit for all other countries.
Connecting the amplifier to a line with
specifications other than indicated above can
create safety and fire hazard, and may damage
the amplifier. If you have any questions about
the voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your area,
contact your dealer before plugging the unit into
a wall outlet.
Verify AC Circuit Capacity Before Use:
The high power output of your amplifier may
require heavy current draw under full-load
conditions. To insure proper performance and
avoid potential safety hazards, we recommend
connection to line circuits with amperage
specified "as above". Connecting to the same
circuit used by other heavy-power devices,
such as high-wattage lights, may cause circuit
breakers to trip. It is always a good idea to avoid
using any audio equipment on the same AC circuit
as equipment with motors, such as air conditioners
or refrigerators. This will lessen the possibility of
power variation and electrical start-up noise
affecting your sound.
Please refer to page 8 for more
instructions concerning installation.

AC Power Cord:
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
supplied with your unit. If a replacement cord is
needed, make certain to use a standard IEC
compliant cord. Damaged power cords should
be replaced immediately. When setting up, make
certain that theAC plug is easily accessible. If you do
not intend to use the amplifier for a considerable
length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC
mains socket. Do not use an extention cord.
Earth Grounding Connection:
To prevent electric shock, do not remove the
grounding plug on the power cord, or use any plug
or extension cord that does not have a grounding
plug provided. Make certain that the AC outlet is
properly grounded as well. Do not use an adapter
plug with this product.
Do Not Open the Amplifier Enclosure:
There are no user serviceable parts inside this
product. Opening the amplifier enclosure may
present a shock hazard. Modification to the
product will void your warranty. If liquid enters
the unit, or any metal object such as a paper
clip accidentally falls inside the enclosure,
disconnect the unit from the AC power source
immediately and consult an authorized service
station.
Setup:
To insure proper operation and to avoid
potential safety hazards, place the unit on a firm,
level surface. Do not plug or unplug the
instrument or speaker cable while the amplifier
power is on.
Heat & Ventilation:
For proper ventilation, make sure there is at least
8" or 20cm of clearance at the back of the unit.
Avoid using in extremely hot or cold locations and
areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or near
heating equipment. Avoid using in moist or high
humidity areas.
