7 AKURATE DS INSTALLATION

This section describes how to connect the Akurate DS into a Linn hi-fi
system.
Unpacking
The Akurate DS is supplied with the following:
• handset
• 2 x AAA batteries for the handset
• 1 pair of black interconnect cables
• RS232 lead
• mains lead
• CD-ROM (contains system software, installation manual and
owner's manual)
• warranty pack
We recommend that the owner retains all packaging in case they need to
transport the Akurate DS at a later date.
Positioning
The Akurate DS can be positioned almost anywhere, but please consider
the following points:
• The unit should be placed on a flat, stable and rigid surface.
• Do not position the unit where sunlight can shine (whether directly,
diffused or reflected) on its display, as the infra-red (IR) radiation in
sunlight will be picked up by the unit's IR remote sensor and this can
adversely affect its operation. Similarly, some electrical devices such
as plasma TVs, fluorescent lights and energy saving lamps can emit
IR which can likewise affect the operation.
• For best performance do not stack the unit with other products.
Ideally, position the unit on a shelf by itself or, if proximity to other
products is unavoidable, positioning side-by-side is preferable to
stacking.
• The unit should not be situated above, or otherwise directly
adjacent to sources of heat such as radiators, power amplifiers
etc. Nor should it be enclosed in a cabinet with such devices.
• The unit itself produces very little heat; however it is advisable
to allow a little space to the sides, rear and above the unit
(ideally 10 cm / 4") for air circulation which will allow any
heat to dissipate.
