Safety Information

Signature 1.3
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your new Signature Series 1.3 amplifier has been factory-
configured for use with 230-volt AC line current.
Connecting the amplifier to a line voltage other than 
that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire
hazard, and may damage the amplifier.
If you have any questions about the voltage requirements
for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your
area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit
into a wall outlet.
Verify AC Circuit Capacity Before Use 
High-power output of your amplifier may require heavy
current draw under full-load conditions. To ensure proper
performance and avoid potential safety hazards, we
recommend that it be connected to a circuit with 16-amp
capacity. Connecting multiple amplifiers to the same
circuit, or connecting the amplifier to a circuit used by
other heavy-power devices, such as high-wattage lights,
may cause circuit breakers to trip. It is always a good idea
to avoid using any audio equipment on the same AC
circuit as equipment with motors, such as air conditioners
or refrigerators. This will lessen the possibility of power
variation and electrical start-up noise affecting your sound
system.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied
with your unit. If a replacement cord is used, make certain
that it is of a similar gauge. We do not recommend using
extension cords with this product. As with all electrical
devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or
place heavy objects on power cords. Damaged power
cords should be replaced immediately with cords meeting
factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet,
always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not
intend to use the amplifier for a considerable length of
time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside this
product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard,
and any modification to the product will void your
guarantee. If water enters the unit, or any metal object
such as a paper clip, wire or staple accidentally falls inside
the cabinet, disconnect the unit from the AC power
source immediately and consult an authorized warranty
station.
Installation Location
■ To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential
for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level
surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain
that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support
the amplifier’s weight.
■ Make certain that proper space is provided both above
and below the unit for ventilation. If the amplifier will
be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make
certain that there is sufficient air movement within 
the cabinet. Consult with your dealer or installer for
more information.
■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, 
in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or near
heating equipment.
■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the
unit or place objects directly over them. Remember,
power amplifiers generate heat, and the heat sink fins
and ventilation slots that form part of the cabinet are
specially designed to remove this heat. Placing other
electronic equipment near these heat-dissipation
systems may possibly affect the long-term reliability 
of both your amplifier and the objects placed above it.
