Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the RT-02 AM/FM

sive listening tests for superior sound and long
term reliability. The Rotel RT-02 will provide

quency direct tuning.

Unpacking
Remove the unit from its packing. Look for the
handheld remote control and other accesso-
ries. Install the supplied batteries in the remote
control. Save the packing and box as it will
protect the RT-02 if you move or need to re-
turn it for maintenance.
Placement
Place the RT-02 on a solid, dry, level surface
away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, high
humidity, or strong vibrations.
The RT-02 can generate some heat during
normal operation. If installed in a cabinet, make
sure that there is adequate ventilation. Make
sure there is enough room behind the RT-02
for easy hookup. Place the unit close to the
other components in your audio/video sys-
tem and, if possible, place it on its own shelf.
This will make initial cable routing, hookup,
and any subsequent system changes easier.
It also minimizes potential interference or heat
buildup from other components.
Don’t stack heavy objects on top of the RT-02.
Do not expose the unit to moisture; this could
damage the circuitry and cause a safety haz-
ard.
