Please read this User Manual thoroughly before attempting to install, configure, or
operate the BASX A-100. After successful installation and configuration of the A-100, be
sure to retain this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. Please read and
follow all instructions and heed all warnings on the BASX A-100 and in this manual. The
vast majority of the subsequent safety precautions are common sense. If you are not
comfortable with the installation of audio/video entertainment equipment, you should
seek the services of a qualified installation professional or call us for help.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use the BASX A-100 near
!
water or in wet locations and do not expose it to rain or moisture. Doing so may result
in damage to the A-100 and the risk of electric shock, which may result in bodily injury
or death.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover from the
BASX A-100. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the A-100. Refer all service to
qualified service personnel.
To reduce the risk of electrical damage, verify that no short circuits are present between
terminals and/or speaker wires before applying power.
Do not install the BASX A-100 near any heat sources such as radiators or heating vents.
Avoid installing the A-100 directly above other heat-producing equipment unless
sufficient ventilation or forced-air cooling is provided.
Do not install the BASX A-100 in locations without proper ventilation. The A-100 should
not be operated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The A-100
should not be installed in an enclosed location such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed
equipment rack unless sufficient forced-air ventilation is provided.
Connect the BASX A-100 only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this
manual and on the A-100). Ensure that the Input Voltage selector switch on the rear of the
A-100 is set to the appropriate voltage.
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be
especially careful where the power cable enters the power outlet and A-100 unit.
