Operation



x Readtheseinstructionsandkeepthemforfuturereference.

x Carefullyfollowinstructionsandfollowdirectionscarefully.

x Donotusethisdevicenearwaterormoisture.

x Cleanamplifierhousingonlywithaslightlydampclothwithwater.

x Donotblockanyoftheventilationopenings.Installin

accordancewiththemanufacturer'sinstructions.

x Donotinstallnearanyheatsourcesuchasradiators,stoves,orotherelectricaldevicesthatpr oduceheat.

x Iftheprovidedplugdoesnotfiteasilyintoyouroutlet,consultanelectricianforreplacementofthe

obsoleteoutletbeforeattemptingtopoweruptheamplifier.

x Preventthepowercordfrombeingwalkedon,bent,stretchedorpinched,particularlyattheplugoratthe

pointwhereitexitsfromtheamplifier.

x Whenuncertainaboutspecifications,pleasefirstconsultthePyleAudiowebsiteandseetheFAQs.

x Ensurethisunitisplacedonastableandflatsurfaceandcanaccommodatetheweightofthisunit.

x Unplugthisunitduringlightningstormsorwhenitisunusedforanextendedperiodoftime.

x Donotleavethisdeviceunattendedwhenpoweredon.

x Referallservicingtoqualifiedservicepersonnel.Servicingisrequiredwhenthedevicehasbeendamaged

ormalfunctionsinanymanner.Thiswouldincludedamagetothepowersupplycordorplug,whenever

liquidhasbeenspilledorobjectshavefallenintothedevice,alsowhenthedevicehasbeenexposedtorain

ormoisture,whentheunitceasestooperatenormally,aswhenoriginallypurchased.

Iftheunitislikelytoundergoexcessvibrationthroughuse,yourmustproperlyinstalltheunitsecurelyandtherack

mountablereinforcementbracketsmustbeproperlyfitted.

Damagecausedbyinsufficientsupporti snotcoveredbythewarranty.

Topreventdamagetotheunit'spanels,alwaysuseprotectiveplasticcupsorwashersbeforetighteningmountingbolts.



Ventilationgapsbetweenunitsarenotrequired,howevercaremustbetakentoensurethatanunobstructedfreeflowof

cleanairispossiblefromthebackoftheunittothefront.Itisalsoimportantthatneitherairintakes,frontorsideexhaust

grillesarecovered.Theinternalairflowoftheseunitsaredesignedtominimizethemalfunctionoftheelectronics,and

promotecoolingair,foroptimalandsafeunitoperation.



PLEASENOTE:Usersmustensurethatanytypeofsmokeandrelatedsubstancesarenotallowedtoentertheamplifier.

Smokeyairiscorrosiveandprolongedexposurewillcauseirreparabledamageto youramplifier.

Donotexposetheamplifiertorainormoistureduringoperationorstorage.Iftheunitdoescomeintocontactwith

moisture,removetheACpowercordimmediatelyandleaveitinasuitablydryareatodry.Takeprecautionbefore

reconnectingtoapowersupply.

Beawarethatwhenanyequipmentistakenfromacoldtohumidlocation,condensationmayoccurinside.Alwaysallow

timefortheequipmenttoattainthesametemperatureasitsenvironmentbeforereconnectingtoapowersupply.
