Safety Instructions, Introduction
and Performance Features

Installation

The PC-4 can be placed on a table or shelf. Cool operation
ensures the longest possible operating life for any elec-
tronic instrument. Do not install the PC-4 directly above a
heat generating component such as a high powered ampli-
fier. Consideration should be give to allow for easy access
of the PC-4 for connection of the AC Power Cords coming
from other components.
The PC-4 can be secured to a wall, shelf or cabinet by
hooking its back panel slots over the heads of two No. 6
wood screws or metal screws. The mounting centers for the
screws or bolts should correspond to the spacing of the
slots. Allow approximately 0.25 inches of the screw to ex-
tend out in order to allow the PC-4 back panel slots to fit
over the screw heads.
