3. FIRST POWER-ON, CONTROL SYSTEM, AND INITIAL CHECK
Do not turn the amplifier on for at least 2 hours after unpacking it in the room where it
will be used. Pay particular attention when you move it from a very cold into a warm
place - condensation is likely and this could result in damage to the high voltage circuits.
In such a case, wait at least 4 hours. A similar effect can occur after a rapid warming of
the operating room (for instance after switching on a powerful heater in a cold shack).
After following all instructions in Section
rocker switch is turned OFF (see
mains plug into the wall outlet prepared for it. The amplifier remains switched off.
