PRECAUTIONS

1. When first powering-up the amp, keep the amplifier Gain
Controls all the way off, in order to block potentially damaging
or annoying sounds caused by defective cables or hookups.
When turning up the Gain, do it gradually, until normal
operation is verified. These precautions are necessary with
all high-power amplifiers, since they have enough power to
blow most speakers in abnormal situations
2. Check the AC Voltage before connecting the AC plug.
3. The amplifier is protected from surges in power-line voltage
by the fuses. Should your unit ever fail to power-up, first
unplug the power cord, and then replace the fuse with exact
type and value.
