  • Page 7: Unpacking And Installation

    UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION Please take care when unpacking your TOMEI Integrated Amplifier. Choose a clean, clear location to unpack your unit. Be aware that the amplifier is very heavy; before attempting to unpack or lift the unit, check the weight and if necessary use more than one person so that it can be moved safely and easily.
