Abiding by the following rules can help prevent damage to your amplifier, yourself and others. -The amplifier is equipped with a three-pronged AC power cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, NEVERremove or other- wise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. -Connect the amplifier ONLYto a properly grounded AC outlet of the proper voltage for your amp. -Avoid sudden temperature extremes, rain and moisture. Also, avoid sudden and intense impact. (If the unit has been subjected to any of the preceding abuses, have it looked at by an authorized service center.) -NEVERset the amplifier on a support that might give out under its weight. -Always keep the total speaker impedance at or above the rated load. -Unplug the amplifier before cleaning it. NEVER spray liquid cleaners onto the amplifier. Wipe it with a slightly dampened, lint- free cloth to remove dirt and film. -Do not use the amplifier if it has sustained damage to the chassis, controls, or power cord. Refer the unit to an authorized serv- ice center for inspection. -Amplifiers capable of producing high volume levels are also capable of inflicting permanent hearing loss or damage, if the expo- sure to such levels is prolonged. Such damage is progressive and irreversible! Consider using quality hearing protection devices. Speakon ®is a registered trademark of Neutrik USA
