  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    Safety instructions Safety instructions Intended use This device amplifies electric audio frequency signals to operate passive speakers. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating con‐ ditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
  • Page 9 Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐ tered electrician. TSA 4-700, TSA 1400, TSA 2200, TSA 4000, TSA 4-300, TSA 4-1300...
  • Page 10 Safety instructions CAUTION! Possible hearing damage The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment.
  • Page 11 Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire. TSA 4-700, TSA 1400, TSA 2200, TSA 4000, TSA 4-300, TSA 4-1300...
  • Page 12 Safety instructions NOTICE! Magnetic fields The device generates strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the function of poorly shielded devices. The strongest magnetic fields are directly above and below the power amplifier. Therefore, never place sensitive devices such as pre- amplifiers, radio transmission systems, or tape decks directly above or below the power amplifier.
