IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equi-
lateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a damp cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings.
Install in accordance with the manufactures instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat.
9. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
10. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when 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 apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
For US and CANADA only:

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrican for replacement of the absolete outlet.
IMPORTANT SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the
Operating Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
1. Security regulations as stated in the EN 60065 (VDE 0860 / IEC 65) and the CSA E65 - 94 have to be obeyed when
servicing the appliance.
2. Use of a mains separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be
operated and is connected to the mains
3. Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the mains voltage or the output voltage.
4. The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure),
respectively between the mains poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times.
The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any switches or breakers that are not connected
to the mains (secondary parts) has to be 6 mm and needs to be minded at all times.
5. Replacing special components that are marked in the circuit diagram using the security symbol (Note) is only permissible
when using original parts.
6. Altering the circuitry without prior consent or advice is not legitimate.
7. Any work security regulations that are applicable at the location where the appliance is being serviced have to be strictly
obeyed. This applies also to any regulations about the work place itself.
8. All instructions concerning the handling of MOS - circuits have to be observed.
Note: SAFETY COMPONENT (HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL PART ONLY)

WARRANTY (Limited)
Electro-Voice products are guaranteed against malfunction due to defects in materials or workmanship for a specified
period, as noted in the individual product-line statement(s) below, or in the individual product data sheet or owner’s
manual, beginning with the date of original purchase. If such malfunction occurs during the specified period, the
product will be repaired or replaced (at our option) without charge. The product will be returned to the customer
prepaid.
Exclusions and Limitations: The Limited Warranty does not apply to: (a) exterior finish or appearance; (b) certain
specific items described in the individual product-line statement(s) below, or in the individual product data sheet or
owner’s manual; © Malfunction resulting from use or operation of the product other than as specified in the product
data sheet or owner’s manual; (d): malfunction resulting from misuse or abuse of the product; or (e): malfunction
occurring at any time after repairs have been made to the product by anyone other than Electro-Voice or any of its
authorized service representatives.
Obtaining Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service, a customer must deliver the product, prepaid, to
Electro-Voice or any of its authorized service representatives together with proof of purchase of the product in the
form of a bill of sale or receipted invoice. A list of authorized service representatives is available from Electro-Voice
at 600 Cecil Street, Buchanan, MI 49107 (616-695-6831) and/or Electro-Voice West at 9130 Glenoaks Boulevard,

Incidental and Consequential Damages Excluded: Product repair or replacement and return to the customer are
the only remedies provided to the customer. Electro-Voice shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential
damages including, without limitation, injury to persons or property or loss of use. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you. Other Rights: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state
to state.
