Important safety precautions

To get the best performance from your ASR Basis Exclusive, and for your own safety,
please read and follow these important safety instructions.
1. Before operating the ASR Basis Exclusive Phono Pre-amplifier, please read
ALL operating and safety instructions.
2. Never place the ASR Basis Exclusive or the battery power supply near heat sources such
as radiators, fireplaces, stove, or other appliances that produce heat. Avoid placing the
ASR Basis Exclusive where it will be subject to direct sunlight or low temperatures.
3. This product is equipped with a three wire AC power cord which includes an earth ground
connection. To prevent shock hazard, all three connectors must always be used.
If your AC outlets will not accept this type of plug, an adaptor may be purchased.
If an adaptor is necessary, be sure it is an approved type and that it is used properly, supplying
an earth ground. If you are not sure of the integrity of your home's electrical system, contact an
licensed electrician for assistance.
4. Before cleaning the ASR Basis Exclusive, always turn the unit Off and disconnect the
AC power supply cord.
5. If you smell smoke, or an abnormal smell, immediately turn the ASR Basis Exclusive OFF
and unplug the unit from the power supply and contact your ASR dealer.
6. In case the unit becomes wet unplug it immediately, and dry it completely before using again.
7. Replace fuse only with the exact type originally included.
230 Volt: 0,5 Amps slow blow 115 Volt: 1 Amps slow blow
8. The batteries need to be charged at least 1 day a month, otherwise they may be damaged.
The Batteries have a self discharging rate from about 0,5% per day like car batteries.
When you don't use the Basis please unplug the Main unit from the Basis to avoid discharging.
For storage the Battery PSU can be connected to AC power all the time, that has no disadvan-
tages. But AC power connection should be done at least 1 time a month for at least 8 hours !
9. The batteries should be replaced after about 5-7 years with 6 pieces new 6 Volts/ 12 Ah Lead/
Acid Gel types. We are using Panasonic Japan Production types.
10. THERE ARE NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE ASR BASIS EXCLUSIVE !
- Do not attempt to repair or modify your ASR Basis Exclusive.
- All service should be performed by qualified service personnel.
- Do not open the unit while it is attached to the AC outlet.
