Safety Instructions

It is absolutely essential that you read these safety instructions carefully before connecting and using this K+H product. Your
safety depends on it. Failure to follow these instructions voids the warranty.
To ensure safe operation for years to come, keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference. K+H has manufactured this product in
accordance with IEC 92 (SEC) 39 standards, then tested and delivered it in safe operating condition. To maintain it in this condition, you must:
observe all safety instructions
•
use the product only as described herein
•
have any maintenance, repairs, or modifications performed only by K+H or other authorized personnel
•
ensure that the room in which you use this product is wired in accordance with the local electrical code
•
Warning!
When the interior of the cabinet is exposed, touching some parts can lead to an electric shock.
•
If you need to gain access to the interior electronics of the unit, always disconnect the unit from any and all power sources first.
•
Any repairs, maintenance, or other service of the unit when its interior compartment is exposed may only be performed safely (in
•
accordance with VBG 4) by authorized technicians familiar with all the risks involved. Even in an unplugged state, a risk of electric
shock is possible.
If you need to replace any fuses, ensure that the replacements are of exactly the same type, value and voltage as the originals, as
•
spelled out in the technical specifications at the rear of this manual.
Do not use "repaired" fuses.
•
If you do not have fuses of the specified size, type and value, do not hot-wire the contacts in the holder by short-circuiting them.
•
Certain areas of the cabinet, cover, and rear panel can achieve extreme temperatures and are therefore marked with a "HOT" label
•
(Fig. B). Refrain from touching any heat sink or ventilation grille.
High volume levels are known to cause permanent - i.e. irreversible - hearing damage, especially when listened to without
•
sufficient breaks. The higher the levels, the more frequent and extended must be the breaks. Avoid standing too close to
loudspeakers that are being driven at high levels. If you must be exposed to high sound pressure levels over an extended period of
time, use hearing protection.
Mains Connection:
This unit is designed for continuous operation.
•
Ensure that the operating voltage of the unit matches that of the local mains current (AC line voltage).
•
Always check before connecting the power cable to the mains socket that the power switch on the unit itself is set to off ("O").
•
Use the power cable or power supply that came with the unit to connect to the mains socket (wall outlet).
•
Power supply: a damaged power cable may not be repaired. Use a new cable.
•
Avoid plugging the mains cable into a power strip that already has several other power-consuming devices connected to it.
•
Avoid using extension cables. The unit must be connected to a mains socket close to it, and that socket should be freely accessible.
•
Installation:
Installation and overhead rigging of this product must be conducted by a qualified professional according to applicable local, national and
•
international codes and standards. Mounting brackets supplied by the manufacturer must be attached to appropriate hardware and
attachment points rated and intended for such use.
Do not expose this product to vibration.
•
Do not operate this product anywhere near water or other liquids. Do not use it near a sink, swimming pool, bathtub, or in any damp room or
•
area. Electrical shocks carried through water can kill. Do not place any beverages whatsoever on or near this product, as liquids can kill
electronic components.
Ensure sufficient ventilation around the product to allow for adequate heat dissipation, especially near the rear panel and the sides of the
•
cabinet (minimum of 8 inches from the nearest wall). The unit may only be installed in a rack if measures are taken to ensure sufficient
ventilation and if the mounting instructions of the manufacturer are followed. Do not block or cover any heat sink, fan, or vent.
Keep this product a safe distance away from radiators and other heaters of any kind.
•
If you bring this product from a cold environment into a warm one, it is quite possible that condensation will form inside the cabinet. Please
•
allow the unit sufficient time for acclimation to room temperature (minimum thirty minutes) before connecting and powering up.
To avoid accidents, do not use any accessory equipment with this product that is not approved by the manufacturer, particularly mounting
•
accessories.
Do not place this unit on any unstable platform, cart, stand or table. If the unit falls, it can cause bodily injury to persons, or can be damaged
•
itself.
To protect this product from lightning damage during a thunderstorm or from power surges during an extended absence, disconnect the
•
power cable from the wall outlet.
