Safety Instructions
NOTE FOR INSTALLATION: The ATP 8500 generates a certain amount of heat and requires ventilation. Do not place it
on a soft surface such as a rug into which it could sink. You should also avoid a built-in installation place such as a
bookcase or a rack unless you can provide proper ventilation for ATP 8500. Do not use this unit near water: for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. The unit
should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including
power amplifiers) that produce heat.
WARNING: MOISTURE IS DANGEROUS FOR THIS DEVICE AND FORMS A HAZARD OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK. IF LIQUID IS ACCIDENTALLY SPILLED ON IT,
IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF ITS POWER AT THE WALL
OUTLET BY UNPLUGGING THE AC POWER CORD
. ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR COMPLETE EVAPORATION
BEFORE USING THE PREAMPLIFIER AGAIN. IF THE LIQUID IS ANY OTHER THAN WATER AND/OR
ALCOHOL, DO NOT USE THE DEVICE BEFORE A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAS EXAMINED IT.
DANGER: Do not open the cover, or try to modify or repair the preamplifier yourself. All servicing must be done by a
qualified technician.
IMPORTANT: USE A DAMP CLOTH TO CLEAN THE MONITOR. NEVER USE ABRASIVES OR SOLVENTS ON
THE MONITOR. NEVER SPRAY LIQUIDS DIRECTLY ON THE MONITOR.
Read all the safety and operating instructions before connecting or using this unit. All warnings on the unit and in this
operating manual should be adhered to. All operating and use instructions should be followed.
The unit should be connected to a power-supply outlet only of the voltage and frequency marked on its rear panel.
The power-supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched, especially near the plug,
convenience receptacles, or where the cord exits from the unit.
The power-supply cord of the unit should be unplugged
from the wall outlet when it is to be unused for a long period of time.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarized
plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the unit; or
C. The unit has been exposed to rain, or liquids of any kind; or
