Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the
unit to moisture or water. Do not expose the unit to dripping or splashing. Do
not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the unit. Do not
allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed to
moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect
the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for
inspection and necessary repairs.
Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Keep
this manual so you can refer to these safety instructions. Heed all warnings
and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. Follow
all operating instructions. Clean the enclosure only with a dry cloth or a
vacuum cleaner. Do not use this unit near water. You must allow a minimum 10
cm or 4 inches of unobstructed clearance around the unit.
Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block
the ventilation openings. If the unit is placed in a bookcase or cabinet,
there must be ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling. Keep the
component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other appliance
that produces heat.
WARNING: The rear panel power cord connector is the mains power
disconnect device. The device must be located in an open area that allows
access to the cord connector.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage
specified on the rear panel. (USA: 120 V/60Hz, EC: 230V/50Hz)
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply
cable or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cable. A polarized
plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two
blades plus a third grounding prong. These are provided for your safety. Do
not defeat grounding and/or polarization safety provisions. If the supplied
plug does not fit your outlet, please consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet. Do not use extension cords.
The main plug of the power cord set is a disconnect device of the apparatus.
In order to completely disconnect the apparatus from the supply mains, the
main plug of the power cord set should be unplugged from the mains (AC)
outlet. The standby LED indicator will not be lit up to show the power cord is
unplugged. The disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Do not route
the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent, exposed to heat, or
damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord at the plug and
where the cord exits the back of the unit. The power cord should be unplugged
from the wall outlet during a lightning storm or if the unit is to be left
unused for a long period of time. This apparatus shall be connected to a main
socket outlet with a protective earth connection. Use only accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, rack, bracket or shelf system recommended by
Rotel. Use caution when moving the unit in a stand or rack to avoid injury
from a tip-over.

- The power supply cord or plug has been damaged
- Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit
- The unit has been exposed to rain
