Maintenance And Important Notes - Clearaudio Talismann V2 Gold User Manual

4. Maintenance and Important notes

Always keep the stylus tip clean. When dirt is allowed to build-up and records are played
with a dirty or clogged stylus, a " buzzing noise " can be heard. For cleaning the stylus tip
use a high quality cleaning brush or Clearaudio cleaning fluid (Art.No. AC003).
Be extremely careful and always brush only from the back to front!
- When using a liquid such as the Clearaudio cleaner or other organic cleaner, always
take care not to spill any on the cartridge body.
- Make sure the liquid will always contact only the stylus tip or cantilever.
4.1 Important notes
High current which could flow through your MC-cartridge during the plug in procedure could
result in damaging and melting very fine MC-coil wires.
This would be not covered by Clearaudio warranty!
Therefore, please be careful and follow instructions below:
1. Connect the tonearm with the turntable ground with preamplifier ground (before
plugging in the electrical power supply)
2. Mount the MC-cartridge into the tonearm
3. First plug the tonearm cable into the phono inputs and your preamplifier
4. Preamplifier volume control must be set fully down (position " 0 ")
5. Plug the main power cord into your electrical power supply
6. Switch "ON" your preamplifier
7. Your MC-cartridge is ready to play!
 There is a very high possibility of damaging your moving coil cartridge, while
connecting or disconnecting to a preamplifier or phonostage which is not properly
grounded.
 If the ground of your preamplifier and ground of your tonearm and turntable are not
connected together, there could be a dangerous situation for your MC-cartridge
(which will be not covered under warranty).
Under such conditions during the procedure of your tonearm first cable-connecting
to your preamplifier, there could be a high hum voltage present! (Depending on
preamplifier-circuit design!)
 Never disconnect your tonearm cable from your preamplifier, while your unit is still "
ON ". Please switch your preamplifier " OFF ", before starting to disconnect your
tonearm connectors from the phono inputs of your preamplifier.
