IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence
if uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within
the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock to persons.
WARNING: Apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
WARNING: To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the rack in accordance with the
installation instructions.
Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings, install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources, such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the pint where they exit from the
apparatus.
The mains circuit breaker shall remain readily
accessible.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, tripod, bracket or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from a tip over.
Disconnect this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for a long period of time.
E Series – E45 Operating Instructions
DO NOT OPEN
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the
appliance.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as if the power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing
and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, are placed on the equipment.
To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC
mains, disconnect the power cord from the mains circuit
breaker.
Where the amplifier is mounted in a rack and
permanently connected to the mains, then the rack
should be installed with a readily accessible connector
or an ALL POLE circuit breaker with 3mm breaking
distances.
This unit is fitted with a 3-wire power cord. For safety
reasons, THE EARTH LEAD SHOULD NOT BE
DISCONNECTED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
The cooling fans suck cool air in through the front and
blow hot air out at the rear of the unit through the
ventilating grills. The front and rear of the amplifier
should have free exposure to the air (i.e. in a rack leave
the front and rear doors off), with 2cm air gap at the
sides and top. IF AIR IS NOT ALLOWED TO ESCAPE
FROM THE REAR, OVER-HEATING WILL OCCUR. Take
care when mounting other equipment in the same rack.
The mains switch on the amplifiers only switches one
pole of the mains supply, therefore for units with a
detachable cord to be fully disconnected from the
mains, the mains disconnect device (ie mains plug or
mains coupler) should remain readily operable. For
units with a fixed mains lead the external all pole circuit
breaker with 3mm breaking distances is the disconnect
device and therefore the installation of the amplifier
shall be carried out in accordance with all the applicable
installation rules.
