2. Safety Issues and Warnings

- Be sure the voltage setting of the unit matches the applied voltage to power
input. Operating voltage is fixed and must only be changed by an authorized service
agent.
- Do not connect unbalanced subwoofer input terminals to speaker outputs!
Absolare Hybrid Mono Amplifier has a balanced output stage. Neither of the speaker
output terminals should be connected to ground. Doing so may permanently damage
the amplifier. Please consult your dealer about correct subwoofer connection.
- Do not short circuit the speaker terminals. The output is protected for short
circuits, but speaker damage may occur from electrical pulses when the connectors
touch each other.
- Do not touch tubes while operating. Tubes are extremely hot devices and
contain very high voltages.
- Do not open bottom covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside the units..
