Precautions For Use - Esoteric F-03A Mode D'emploi

Precautions for use

o Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that you
will use with it.
o Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot. This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-
tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not
place it on top of another amplifier or equipment that generates
heat.
o Avoid locations that are subject to vibrations or exposed to exces-
sive dust, cold or moisture.
o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8")
between this unit and walls and other equipment when installing
it. If you put it in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating
by leaving at least 20 cm (8") open above the top of the unit and
at least 10 cm (4") open behind it. Failure to provide these gaps
could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.
o Do not install the unit face up or on its side.
o Do not place anything, not even CDs, CD-Rs, LP records or cassette
tapes, on top of the unit. Do not put cloth on top of the unit or
place the unit on top of bedding or thick carpet.
o Do not move the unit during use.
o Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit due to its weight.
Have someone help you move it if necessary.
o The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage printed
on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter,
consult an electrician.
o Do not open the body of the unit as this might result in damage
to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object should
get into the unit, contact your dealer.
o When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull
directly on the plug; never yank on the cord.
Maintenance
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surface of the unit clean.
For stubborn smudges, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly
wrung out to remove excess moisture.
V For safety, disconnect the power plug from the out-
let before cleaning.
o Never spray liquid directly on this unit.
o Do not use chemically-treated wipes, thinner or similar substances
because they could damage the surface of the unit.
o Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch the unit for
long periods of time because they could damage the cabinet.

Foot-stand (metal)
The stands for these feet are loose, but when the unit is placed in
position, it is supported by these pinpoint feet, which will effectively
disperse vibrations.

avoid scratching the surface where the unit is placed.
