Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage and Amperage Before
Use:
Your new 2001RB or RBP amp has been factory
.
confi gured for use with:
120 Volt/60Hz 15 Amp circuit for USA &
.
Canada.
230 Volt/50Hz 10 Amp circuit for Europe
. .
& Australia.
100 Volt/50Hz 15 Amp circuit for Japan.
Proper AC circuit for all other countries.
Connecting the amplifi er to a line with specifi cations other
than indicated above can create a safety and fi re hazard,
and may damage the amplifi er. If you have any questions
about the voltage requirements for your specifi c 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 amplifi er 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
specifi ed "as above". Connecting multiple amplifi ers to
the same circuit, or connecting the amplifi er 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 to possibility
of power variation and electrical start-up noise affecting
your sound.
Warning: Do not disconnect or plug in the
instrument/speaker cable with the amplifier
power on. Be sure the amplifier unit is turned
off before connecting to speakers
Mains Disconnect:
If the AC mains has to be completely disconnected, the
plug/power cord is used as the mains disconnect device
and shall remain readily operable.

Do Not Use Extension Cords:
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord sup-
plied with your unit. If a replacement cord is used, make
certain that it is of consistent quality and gauge as the
original. We do not recommend using extension cords
with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run
power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects
on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced im-
mediately with cords meeting factory specifi cations.
Mains Disconnect:
To isolate the unit from the AC mains, disconnect the
power cord from the unit and the AC outlet. When discon-
necting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the
plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the
amplifi er for a considerable length of time, disconnect the
plug from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open The Amplifier Enclosure:
There are no user-serviceable components inside this
product. Opening the amplifi er enclosure may present a
shock hazard, and modifi cation to the product will void
your warranty. If liquid enters the unit, or any metal
object such as a paper clip, wire, or staple accidentally
falls inside the enclosure, disconnect the unit from the
AC power source immediately and consult an authorized
service station.
Unpacking:
The carton and packing materials used in shipping your
new amplifi er were specially designed to cushion it from
the shocks and vibration that occur during transport. We
suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for
use in shipping, in the event you move, or the amplifi er
needs repair.
