  • Page 7: Unpacking

    CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift your SC-3 while bending or twisting from the waist. Use your legs for lifting, not your back. Always stand as straight as possible and keep the SC-3 close to your body to reduce strain on your back.

    SC-3 so all cables have sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain. If possible, the SC-3 should also be placed in such a way that the power switch on the rear panel is easily accessible. This switch disconnects power from the unit completely, resulting in effective disconnection of the SC-3 from the AC mains.
