12)Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.

the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the appara-
tus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate nor-
mally, or has been dropped.

Precautions during use
1) This product is capable of producing extremely high volumes. In some cases,
this could damage your hearing or cause other bodily impairment. You must be
careful of the volume when using this product.
2) Always make sure that a speaker system of the correct impedance is connected.
3) Use this product with a power supply of the voltage that is printed on the rear
panel.
4) Place this product near the main power outlet, and ensure that the main power
plug can be easily disconnected from the main power outlet if any problem
should occur.
5) This device contains a fuse for protection. The fuse may be broken due to exter-
nal physical shock or because it has reached the end of its lifetime, but since a
broken fuse may indicate that a serious internal malfunction has occurred, please
contact your dealer before replacing the fuse.
6) When you are not using it, leave the power turned off. As long as the TBX is
connected to an electrical outlet, it is not completely insulated from the power
supply even if the power switch is turned off. If you will not be using the TBX for
an extended period, leave the power cable disconnected.
Cautions regarding location
7) If you use the TBX150H on top of a speaker cabinet, you must install this equip-
ment securely on the floor or wall. In particular if you're using two speaker cabi-
nets (i.e., a full stack), be sure to place the equipment on a flat and level surface,
and use security belts or similar fasteners to attach the equipment to the floor or
walls so that it cannot fall over.
8) Secure the provided power plug to mains socket-outlets that has a protective
ground terminal.
