GENERAL PRECAUTIONS & SAFETY NOTES
1. DO NOT REMOVE CHASSIS COVER UNTIL UNIT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF FOR
5 MINUTES. TUBES BECOME HOT IN USE, AND CAN CAUSE INJURY. DO NOT
EXPOSE CHASSIS TO MOISTURE. DO NOT PLUG INTO AN AC SOURCE UNTIL
ALL CONNECTIONS ARE COMPLETED.
2. Complete all signal (interconnect and speaker cable) connections before connecting the AC
cord to the wall outlet and turning the unit on. Similarly, always turn the amplifier off and
remove the AC power cord before detaching cabling. Failure to observe this sequence can
result in damage to the amplifier, speakers or associated components.
4. For protection of your speakers and power amplifier, always switch amplifier to “Mute”
before switching the power off or on. As a general rule, source components should be
switched on before the power amplifier. Similarly, turn the power amplifier off before
switching off the source components.
5. THESE UNITS CONTAIN NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS. DO NOT REMOVE THE
BOTTOM COVER. LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE CHASSIS. DO
NOT OPERATE THE UNITS IF THEY ARE WET.
6. VACUUM TUBES BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. NEVER
TOUCH A TUBE WHEN THE UNIT IS ON. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES FOR
THE TUBES TO COOL DOWN AFTER THE UNIT IS SWITCHED OFF. FOR THIS
REASON THE TOP CAGE SHOULD ALWAYS BE LEFT SECURELY IN PLACE.
7. The Standard 220 is heavy. Please exercise caution in lifting the unit, and take care to install
Standard 220 securely in a sturdy, well designed stand so that it will not fall or tip over (this
could cause serious, possibly fatal injury).
8. DO NOT TURN THE SMALL PLASTIC SCREW ON THE METER. IF YOU DO, THE
UNIT MUST BE RETURNED TO VAC FOR RECALIBRATION.
