Octave V 70 SE [6/33] Safety instructions

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2.2. Placement

1. Location

OCTAVE equipment is designed strictly for use in a dry domestic environment. Do not use it in the

open air or in damp environments!

Never place plants or liquid-filled containers on your OCTAVE equipment. Take care to avoid

dropping objects or spilling liquids into the case. Should this happen, remove the mains plug

immediately and have your amplifier checked by a qualified service technician.

Condensation may form if the amplifier is taken from a cold environment into a warm one. If you do

this, wait until the amplifier has reached room temperature and is dry before switching it on.

Avoid installing the unit close to sources of heat such as radiators or anywhere that may be in

direct sunlight.

Do not operate the unit near flammable materials, gases or vapors. Avoid areas where there may

be heavy accumulations of dust or where the unit may be subject to mechanical vibration.

Place your OCTAVE amplifier on a stable, level surface.

2. Grille

Never operate the amplifier without the protective grille in place.

3. Ventilation

Make sure that your amplifier has an adequate flow of air around it. If you intend to install your

equipment into a cupboard or on a wall shelf unit, ensure that there is at least a ten centimeter (4

inch) gap between the ventilation slots and the walls all around the amplifier. The rear panel of

cupboards should have ventilation holes to prevent heat build up. Do not rest the equipment on a

soft surface such as carpet or foam sheeting.

2.3. Warranty

OCTAVE can only guarantee the safety, reliability and performance of this unit if modifications and

repairs are carried out by specialized personnel and when the amplifier is operated in accordance

with the instructions contained in this manual.
