Notice NAD 218 THX

« isk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intend- ed to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC , which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable should be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. NAD 2 CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SEVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. AFIN DEVITER UN CHOC ELECTRIQUE, ET LES CONSEQUENCES GRAVES QUI POURRAIENT EN RESULTER, TENTEZ PAS D'OUVRIR L'APPAREIL ET DE TOUCHER AUX COMPOSANTS INTERNES SANS LA PRESENCE D'UNE SERVICE PERSONNEL. THIS DIGITAL APPARATUS DOES NOT EXCEED THE CLASS B LIMITS FOR RADIO NOISE EMISSIONS FROM DIGITAL APPARATUS AS SET OUT IN THE RADIO INTERFERENCE REGULATIONS OF THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS. LE PRESENT APPAREIL NUMVERIQUE N'EMET PAS DE BRUITS RADIOELECTRIQUES DEPASSANT LES LIMITES APPLICABLES AUX APPAREILS NUMERIQUES DE LA CLASSE B PRESCRITES DANS LE REGLEMENT SUR LE BROUILLAGE RADIO ELECTRIQUE EDICTE PAR LE MINISTERE DES COMMUNICATIONS DU CANADA.NAD 3 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Figure 1. (120V version only)A NOTE ON INSTALLATION This unit may be installed on any level surface that is strong enough to support its weight. Since its power transformer generates a significant magnetic hum field, a turntable (especially one with a moving- coil pickup cartridge) should not be located adjacent to the amplifier nor directly above it. The heat-sink fins make it awkward to lift the 218 THX by grasping the left and right sides. You may find it more practical to place your hands under the front and rear panels. Much of the amplifier’s weight is near the front panel. CAUTION: The amplifier’s weight must always rest on its bottom feet. Never put the amp down on its rear panel, with its front panel facing up. Doing so risks damage to the input/output connectors. The amplifier generates a moderate amount of heat, requiring internal ventilation. Do not permit the air outlet grille on the top cover to be obstructed by papers or articles of clothing. If you want to locate the amplifier on a carpeted floor, place a board under the amp in order to prevent it from sinking into the carpet, blocking the air inlets on its bottom. CAUTION: To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not permit liquid or moisture to enter the amplifier. If liquid is accidentally spilled on it, immediately shut off the power and unplug the AC power cord. Allow time for complete evaporation to occur before operating the amplifier again. (If the liquid is anything but water and/or alcohol, the amplifier should be examined by a service technician before power is applied to it.) Do not open the amplifier, or attempt to modify or repair it yourself. Refer all servicing to a qualified technician. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS 1.
