C31/P35/P1E-2 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. Take heed of warnings and instructions 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. Water and moisture 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. Object or liquid entry 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. Ventilation 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. Heat 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. Climate These products have been designed for use in moderate climates. 7. Racks and stands 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. Cleaning 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. 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 international electrical safety standard. RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR ATTENTION CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. 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 products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to const tute a risk of electr c shock to persons. The exclamat on point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the l terature accompanying the product.
