INSTALLATION
This section describes the unpacking and installation procedures for the CAD-280 SA
amplifier.
2.1 Unpacking
All shipping containers have been specifically designed to protect their contents and
special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions.
Mishandling should be evident upon inspection of the shipping container. If chassis
damage is found after a visual inspection, take care not to destroy the evidence. If
necessary, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier
immediately. Carefully remove your new power amplifier from its packing carton, and
examine it closely for signs of shipping damage. It is recommended to save all the
original packing cartons to protect your amplifier from damage should you wish to
store it or ship it for after-sales service.
2.2 Warranty Card
Fill out the enclosed warranty registration card and return it to Cary Audio Design, Inc.
within 15 days of original purchase. Keep your original sales slip from your Cary Audio
Authorized Dealer with the packing cartons should you ever need it. Failure to register your
warranty will set the limited warranty time period to 90 days from date of purchase. When
purchased from a Cary Audio Authorized Dealer and properly registered, the limited
warranty period is extended. See the limited statement of warranty for details.
2.3 Amplifier Placement
In general, the location of your new V-12R is not critical. Certain precautions must be
taken to ensure optimum performance however. Always avoid extremely hot locations
such as near steam heat radiators or other heating units. Allow 10-12 inches above the
amplifier for proper ventilation. Keep the top of the amplifier clear of books, paper or
other equipment to protect it against overheating! DO NOT place your amplifier in a
closed book case - overheating will damage the amplifier!
2.4 Power Requirements
