IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Save the carton and packing material even if the

equipment has arrived in good condition. Should you ever

need to ship theunit, useonly the original factory packing.

2. Read all documentation before operating your equipment.

Retain all documentation for future reference.

3. Follow all instructions printedon unit chassis for proper

operation.

4. Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit, or

operate the unit while standing in liquid.

5. Make sure power outlets conform to the power

requirements listed on the back of the unit.

6. Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or

broken.The 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, paying particular attention

to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the appliance.

7. Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire

connected to the electrical system ground. Precautions

should be taken so that the means of grounding of a piece

of equipment is not defeated.

8. Mains voltage must be correct and the same as that

printed on the rear of the unit. Damage caused by

connection to improper AC voltage is not covered by any

warranty.

9. Have gain controls on amplifiers turned down during

power-up to prevent speaker damage if there ar e high

signal levels at the inputs.

10. Power down & disconnect units from mains voltage before

making connections.

11. Never hold a power switch in the “ON” position if it won’t

stay there itself!

12. Do not use the unit near stoves, heat registers, radiators,

or other heat producing devices

13. Do not block fan intake or exhaust ports. Do not operate

equipment on a surface or in an environment which may

impede the normal flow of air around the unit, such as a

bed, rug, weather sheet, carpet, or completely enclosed

rack. If the unit is used in an extremely dusty or smoky

environment, the unit should be periodically “blownfree” of

foreign matter.

14. Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover will expose

you to potentially dangerous voltages. There are no user

serviceable parts inside.

15. Do not drive the inputs with a signal level greater than that

required to drive equipment to full output.

16. Do not connect the inputs / outputs of amplifiers or

consoles to any other voltage source, such as a battery,

mains source, or power supply, regardless of whether the

amplifier or console is turned on or off.

17. Do not run the output of any amplifier channel back in to

an other channel’s input. Do not parallel or series connect

an amplifier output with any other amplifier output.

Audiocraft Engineering is not responsible for damage to

loudspeakers for any reason.

18. Do not ground any red (“hot”) terminal. Never connect a

“hot” (red) output to ground or to another “hot” (red)

output!

19. Non-use periods. The power cord of equipment should be

unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long

period of time.

20.

Service Information Equipment should be serviced by

qualified service personnel when:

A.The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged.

B.Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

equipment

C.The equipment has been exposed to rain

D.The equipment does not appear to operate normally, or

exhibits a marked change in performance

E.The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure

damaged
