Installation

Important Safety Information

Mains connections
This appliance must be earthed – both for Safety and functional reasons.
Lethal Voltages
Inside the amplifier, lethal voltages are present – do not touch any part of the circuitry with any part of your
body or with metallic or conductive objects. Avoid especially the area around the mains inlet and its
connectors
Installation
Unpack the product & retain the packing for future transportation.
As a Linn retailer, you are responsible for ensuring correct installation of the product. Consult the user
manual and read the Placement & Handling information below.
Placement
Location & Environment
Do not locate near electronic products that may transmit RF, such as microcomputers, fax machines, TVs
etc, or connect them to the same mains socket as these devices. Also avoid close contact with the mains or
signal leads of such products – careful routing of the cable may be required.
Although the amplifier can usually be stacked along with other products with no problem, it is better if
possible to keep it apart from other products to prevent its operation being adversely affected by the heat
and strong electrical field emitted by some products. This is also advisable due to possibility of the heat and
electrical field that, unavoidably, emanate from a product as powerful as the LK240/AV5105 from adversely
affecting the performance of other adjacent products.
Avoid locations that have high humidity or the chance of the unit getting wet.
Avoid locations where there is a lot of dust.
Handling & general maintenance.
No standard maintenance is required, except perhaps re-connecting the plugs periodically to improve contact
Always handle the amplifier with great care.
Always turn off the unit and the pre-amp to which it is connected before connecting or disconnecting any
plugs to/from the sockets at the back of the unit to avoid damaging the speakers etc.
If you are carrying out any work on the unit with its' sleeve removed, ALWAYS take anti-static precautions as
tiny static discharges from your body, which you may be completely unaware of, can damage electronic
circuitry and cause major problems. Anti-static earth mats & wrist straps must be used when handling any of
the circuit boards or any spare parts.
