WARNING:
When Installing the Unit

Do not expose this product to rain or an environment where it could be splashed by water or other liquids.
Only use this product with the voltage specified. Using higher voltage may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not cut, kink, damage or modify the power cord. Avoid using the power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects on the cord. This could result in electric shock or fire.
Be sure to replace the speaker terminal cover after the connections are complete. High voltage is applied to the speaker terminals. To avoid electric shock, never touch these terminals.
Be sure you ground the amplifier using the safety ground (earth) terminal to avoid electric shock. Never ground this product to a gas pipe or other flammable items.
Avoid installing or mounting this product on an unstable or slanted surface. Doing so may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
