SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Caution:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
remove the back panel. No user-serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Explanation of Graphical Symbols

The lightning flash within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert you to the presence of unin-
sulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute an electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert you to the presence
of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance
1 Read Instructions – All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before
the appliance is operated.
2 Retain Instructions – The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future
reference.
3 Heed Warnings – All warnings on the
appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4 Follow Instructions – All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
5 Water and Moisture – The appliance should
not be used near water – for example, near
a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool and the like.
6 Carts and Stands – The appliance should be
used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
7 Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
8 Ventilation – The appliance should be
situated so that its location or position does
not interfere with its proper ventilation. For
example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation
openings; or placed in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation
openings.
9 Heat – The appliance should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
that produce heat.
10 Power Sources – The appliance should be
connected to a power supply only of the
type described in the operating instructions
or as marked on the appliance.
11 Grounding or Polarisation – The appliance
is double insulated and does not need to be
grounded for safety. However, not grounding
the appliance may increase the level of hum
breakthrough. When using an extension
power-supply cord or a power-supply cord
other than that supplied with the appliance,
it should be fitted with the appropriate
moulded-on plugs and carry safety approval
appropriate to the country of use.
12 Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed
on or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
13 Cleaning – The appliance should be
cleaned only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
14 Non-use Periods – The power cord of the
appliance should be unplugged from
the outlet when left unused for a long
period of time.
15 Object and Liquid Entry – Care should be
taken so that objects do not fall and liquids
are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
16 Damage Requiring Service – The appliance
should be serviced by qualified personnel
when:
a The power-supply cord or the plug has
been damaged; or
b Objects have fallen, or liquid has been
spilled into the appliance; or
c The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
d The appliance does not appear to operate
normally, or exhibits a marked change in
performance; or
e The appliance has been dropped, or the
enclosure damaged.
17 Servicing – The user should not attempt to
service the appliance beyond that described
in the operating instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to qualified
service personnel.
WARNINGS
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this equipment to rain or moisture.
Observe all warnings on the equipment itself.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the
enclosure or remove the amplifier from the rear
panel. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer all service questions to an
authorised B&W dealer.
To prevent electric shock, do not use this
(polarised) power plug with an extension cord
receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can
be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Ensure that the voltage indicated on the amplifier
panel matches that of the power supply.
The mains fuse holder is located on the back
panel of the amplifier module. Replacement fuse
must be of the same type and rating as supplied.
An earth (ground) connection is provided in the
mains input socket. However, the equipment is
double insulated and will operate safely without
being earthed (grounded), but may suffer
increased levels of hum breakthrough.
To ensure adequate cooling of the amplifier,
operate the equipment only with the heatsink
fins aligned vertically.
Check that there are no cables under the carpet
that may be damaged by the spikes.
Do not walk the unit on the spikes as this may
cause them to become detached from the
cabinet and cause damage.
Take care not to impale your feet with the spikes.
