Instructions — All safety and operating instructions should be read and adhered to exactly as written here or as
depicted on the unit. Please retain for future reference.
Water and Moisture — The unit should not be used near water — that is, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or swimming pool, etc.
Heat — The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, etc..
Power Sources — The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the unit.
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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the unit.
Lightning — For added protection during a lightning storm, or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug the unit from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

inside of the unit. For this reason, no objects filled with liquid, such as vases or drinking glasses should be placed on the
equipment.

∇

The Obelisk DA converter does not have any user serviceable parts inside. It is essential that repairs and
updates are only carried out by our authorised trade partners — distributors and dealers — , or at the factory by
Heed Audio itself. Many components are custom made, tested or matched and appropriate replacements are
often unobtainable from other sources.
Therefore, users should not attempt to service the units beyond those means described in the operating
!
instructions, or under any circumstances allow anyone to modify them.
Unauthorised repairs or modifications will invalidate the guarantee of the units.
Grounding or Polarisation — Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarisation is not defeated.
Radio interference — All Heed components are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a domestic installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
your Obelisk does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning off and
on, you are 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 amplifier and receiver (radio tuner, television set, etc.);
∇
Connect the equipment into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected;
∇
Contact your Heed dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Maintenance / Cleaning — It is recommended to dust the equipment from time to time with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning solvents or abrasives for cleaning!
!
Always switch off and unplug the unit from the power supply when cleaning!
