their weight and visceral impact. Mid and high frequencies will bloom with sweet, non-glaring ease while imaging improves
dramatically, all the while remaining true to your system's inherent virtues.
Installation
Unpacking
Before unpacking your unit, inspect the carton for any obvious severe damage to the box and internal protective materials.
If internal damage is likely, contact the carrier who delivered the unit before proceeding with unpacking. If, after unpacking,
shipping damage is evident, contact the carrier. Save all shipping and packing materials. You may need them if you should
ever have to return the unit to the factory for servicing.
The box should contain the Elite 20 PF i unit, detachable AC cord, rack mount kit, owner's manual, and warranty registration
card. If anything is missing, please contact Furman Customer Service. Fill out and return your warranty registration card.
Registration is recommended because it can be used to establish whether the unit is within the warranty period should your
original ownership documents be lost, and it assists us in informing you about upgrades or other vital information.

Power Source
The power source to which the Elite 20 PF i is connected should be adequate for use at 20 Amps. The Elite 20 PF i will operate
with a15 Amp service outlet; however, nuisance tripping at the circuit breaker panel may result if the system's continuous
current draw exceeds 15 Amps.
Placement
The Elite 20 PF i is manufactured with four rubber feet for placement on any table, cabinet, shelf, or floor. These rubber feet
may be easily removed with a standard Philips screw driver when rack mounting adjacent to other components. Placement
or proximity to other components is not critical, and the Elite 20 PF i does not produce any appreciable heat under standard
use. The Elite 20 PF i may also be rack mounted in a standard 19" rack by attaching the Elite 20 PF i rack ears. These rack ears
(contained within the plastic rack kit package) mount flush with the back portion of the Elite 20 PF i's front panel. They are
attached to the chassis by installing each rack ear with (3) pan-head Philips screws contained within the Elite 20 PF i rack
mounting kit. The third screw used for each rack ear is for the center hole, located towards the rear and aids in stabilizing the
unit when rack mounted.
