Precautions - Integra RDA-7 Instruction Manual

Precautions

Before using the RDA-7 power amplifier, be sure to
read the page above entitled Important Safeguards
and this page of precautions.
Power cord
The RDA-7 comes with a three-pronged power cord that
contains a grounding wire. To help prevent electrical
shocks, always insert all three prongs when plugging in
the power cord. If the plug of the power cord is not
properly plugged in all the way, it may lead to an
electrical shock.
Be sure to only use wall sockets that properly fit the plug
of the power cord. If the socket does not match the
plug of the power cord, you will need to prepare an
adapter. Always use an adapter that is properly
certified for this application.
WARNING:
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
AC fuse
Never bypass the fuses when connecting components
or the RDA-7.
Speakers
Connected speakers should have an impedance of 4
ohms or greater. If speakers with an impedance of less
than 4 ohms are connected, it may damage the RDA-7.
Ventilation
The RDA-7 is a high-power amplifier, so the internal
temperature of the device rises to a high temperature.
Therefore, place the RDA-7 in a location where the flow
of air around the device is good. Also, do not place
objects or other system components on top of the RDA-
7 or block the ventilation holes in any way. This may
cause the internal temperature to rise and lead to a
malfunction or damage the internal components.
Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear
panels and the cabinet with a soft sloth. For heavier dirt,
dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild
detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the
dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
Chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage
the finish or remove the panel lettering.
6
Whenever performing maintenance on the RDA-7, any
of its supplied accessories, or any device connected to
it, do not use solvents or cleaners of any kind that are
inflammable or combustible.
Other
Below is a list of actions that you should never perform.
• Never perform a "thumb test" (checking whether
current is reaching the lead wire on the hot end of
the input by touching it with your fingers) on the ends
of the input jacks or input cables. Doing so may
damage the speakers.
• Never short-circuit an output terminal.
• Never remove the cover of the RDA-7. Furthermore,
never operate the RDA-7 when the cover is removed
for any reason.
• Never operate the RDA-7 in environments with
explosive gases or materials.
• Do not install the RDA-7 in a location within the reach
of small children.
Lightning storms
Never touch the power cord or plug of the RDA-7 during
a lightning storm.
