installing the batteries
in the remote control
Using the supplied 5 ⁄
64
" Allen key, remove the two screws in the bottom end cap
of the remote control (i.e., the end opposite the IR transmitter lens). Insert the
two alkaline batteries found in the Accessories box, being careful to follow the
polarity indications given on the inside of the battery compartment. Replace the
end cap and the screws, using the Allen key.
If at some point you notice that your remote control seems not to be performing
as well as it once did, its batteries are probably running low. Check the batteries
periodically, and replace batteries before they are “dead.” (Fully discharged batter-
ies are prone to leaking corrosive chemicals—the greenish “gunk” you may have
seen around battery terminals of other remote controls.)
placement The Nº380 should be placed close to your source equipment, thus keeping inter-
connect cabling short. We strongly recommend shelf mounting to allow for
proper ventilation.
The Nº380 is designed for continuous operation, which is why it features a
standby mode rather than a full “off” mode—it is designed to be connected to
the AC mains at all times for the best performance.
ventilation Be sure to allow 3 to 4 inches of clearance above the Nº380 to allow heat dissi-
pation through air circulation.
Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom
cabinetry (see “Dimensions”).
Caution! It is extremely important that all components in your system
be properly grounded. Under no circumstances should you
defeat a three-prong AC cord with a “ground-lifter” or
“cheater” adaptor, as doing so may allow dangerous
voltages to build up between components. The presence of
these voltages would pose a threat to both your person and
your equipment.
