Maintenance/Alterations
All equipment that is connected to the domestic
mains voltage can be dangerous to the user if
not handled properly. Leave maintenance work
to qualified professionals. The product is only
permitted for connection to AC 230 Volt/50 Hz,
for earthed sockets and use in enclosed areas.
Altering the product or manipulating its serial
number voids the warranty. After a fault, leave
the appliance's fuse to be replaced only by a
professional with one of the same kind.
Power Cable Connection
Always pull the plug and never the power cable if
you want to disconnect the appliance from the
mains power. Make sure when setting up the appli-
ance that the power cable is not squashed, sever-
ely bent or damaged by sharp edges. Do not touch
the power lead with wet or damp hands. Use the
power cable supplied or another one from Vincent.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

observed in order to prevent any hazard:
avoided without fail. Take care that no liquids or
objects get inside the appliance (ventilation slots
etc.). It must be disconnected from the mains pow-
er immediately and examined by a professional if
this happens. Never expose the appliance to high
temperatures (direct sunshine) or strong vibration.
Heat Build-up
All amplifiers generate heat as part of their design.
Make sure that a gap of 5 cm remains around the
appliance and that the surrounding air can circulate
(do not install in enclosed cupbo-ards). Vents must
not be covered up.
Volume
The maximum tolerable volume is always reached
well below the maximum possible setting on the
amplifier. Be careful with the volume setting, the-
refore, in order to prevent damage to hearing. So
that you do not expose yourself to high volumes
unintentionally, always set to a low level before
changing the input channel.
Cleaning
Pull out the power plug before cleaning the outside
of the product. Whenever possible, use a soft,
lintfree cloth that has been dampened. Do not use
abrasives, solvents, thinners, flammable chemicals,
polishes and other cleaning products that leave
marks.
Batteries
Take note of the instructions for using batteries in
the chapter "Remote Control".
