Anthem Audio Amp 1 - Manual (Page 9)

BREAK -IN T IME
As with all audio electronic products, the ultimate sonic char-
acter of the Amp 1 will not be realized until and unless the
unit receives a minimum of approximately 70 hours of signal
break-in time (i.e. the Amp 1 is on and outputting a signal).
PLAC EMENT FOR PR OPE R VE NTILAT I O N
The Amp 1 requires a minimum of 12” (30cm) above and 6”
(15cm) at each side, of unobstructed air space. Make sure
that the ventilation slots on the top, sides and bottom
remain unobstructed by any object. Do not stack any other
component on top of the AMP 1 or block the ventilation
slots in any way. Also, be sure that the AMP 1 is placed on
a secure, hard and level surface, n o t on carpet.
S AF ET Y INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ventilation - Your Amp 1 generates considerable heat in use,
be sure that the ventilation slots in the top cover have at least
12” of unobstructed air space above them.
2. Water and Moisture - This product should not be used
near water. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this product to rain or moisture.
3. Heat - This product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances which produce heat.
4. Power Sources - This product should be connected to an
AC power source of the proper rated voltage. The original
shipping container will stipulate the AC voltage this unit can
operate with correctly.
5. Cleaning - A regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive
cloth will generally keep the finish of the faceplate and chas-
sis looking like new. At no time should you allow any liquid to
come in contact with the Amp 1; it may run into the electron-
ic circuitry and cause damage which will not be covered
under your warranty.
6. Servicing - Do not open this product. No user serviceable

the Amp 1.
