Important Safety Instructions
Terminals marked with this symbol carry electrical current of sufficient
magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock.
Use only high-quality professional speaker cables with ¼” TS or twist-locking
plugs pre-installed. All other installation or modification should be
performed only by qualified personnel.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage inside the enclosure – voltage that may be sufficient to
constitute a risk of shock.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and
maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the
manual.
Caution
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear
section). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel.
Caution
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to
rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing
liquids and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on
the apparatus.
