Safety guidelines

Important safety instructions

These products are designed and manufactured to meet
strict quality and safety standards. However, you should
be aware of the following installation and operation
precautions:
1.
You should read all the safety and operating instructions
before operating these products. Retain this handbook for
future reference and adhere to all warnings in the handbook
or on the product itself.
2.
The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous. Do
not use these appliances near water – next to a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool, etc.
3.
Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure of a unit through any openings. Liquid-
filled objects such as vases should not be placed on these
products.
4.
Do not place these units on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since
ventilation may be impeded. We recommend a minimum
distance of 50mm (2 inches) around the sides and top of
the each unit to provide adequate ventilation.
5.
Locate these products away from naked flames or heat
producing equipment such as radiators, stoves or other
appliances (including other amplifiers) that produce heat.
6.
These products have been designed for use in moderate
climates.
7.
Only use a rack or stand that is recommended for use with
audio equipment. If the equipment is on a portable rack it
should be moved with great care, to avoid overturning the
combination.
8.
Unplug a unit from the mains power supply before cleaning.
The cases should normally only require a wipe with a soft,
damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use paint thinners or other
chemical solvents for cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or
polishes as they can cause indelible white marks if the unit
is subsequently wiped with a damp cloth.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

9. Power sources
Only connect an unit to a power supply of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
product itself.
The primary method of isolating these products from the
mains supply is to remove the mains lead from the rear of
the unit. These products must be installed in manner that
makes this disconnection possible.
These are Class 1 devices and must be earthed.
10. Power-cord protection
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords and plugs,
and the point where they exit from the unit.
11. Grounding
Ensure that the grounding means of these products is not
defeated.
12. Power lines
Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power lines.
13. Non-use periods
When using the stand-by function, a small amount of
current will continue to flow into the unit. Unplug the power
cord of a unit from the outlet if it is to be left unused for a
long period of time.
14. Abnormal smell
If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from a unit, turn
the power off immediately and unplug the unit from the
wall outlet. Contact your dealer for further advice.
15. Servicing
You should not attempt to service these products beyond
that described in this handbook. All other servicing should
be referred to qualified service personnel.
16. Damage requiring service
These products should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when:
A. the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged,
or
B. objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the
appliance, or
C. the appliance has been exposed to rain, or
D. the appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance, or
E. the appliance has been dropped or the enclosure
damaged.

Safety compliance

These products have been designed to meet the IEC 60065
