Important! Before Using Your Amplifier!

• Power Supply

1. Use only the supplied power cord/plug. If you intend to use the product in an area other than in the one you purchased, the included power cord may not be compatible.
2. Only use the voltage specified as correct for the product. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the product.
3. Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
4. Make sure to fully insert the electric plug to prevent electric shocks or fire.
5. When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product will not be disconnected from the power source.
6. Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock, fire, or damage.
