Audio Research Reference 6 - General Safety and Warnings; Packaging and Shipping

5
Warnings
To prevent re, or shock hazard, do not
expose your Reference 6
to rain or moisture.
Do not place objects containing
water on top of this unit.
This unit contains voltages which can cause
serious injury or death. Do not operate
with covers removed. Refer servicing
to your authorized Audio Research
dealer or other qualied personnel.
The detachable power cord on your
Reference 6 is equipped with a heavy
gauge, 3-conductor cable and a standard
three-prong grounding plug. For absolute
protection, do not defeat the ground power
plug. This provides power line grounding
of the Reference 6 chassis to provide
absolute protection from electrical shock.
The appliance coupler (a.c. power connector)
at the rear of this unit must be accessible
for emergency power disconnect.
The power button on the front of this
unit, when o, does not disconnect
all power from this unit. This unit
is in sleep mode when not on.
For continued protection against re hazard,
replace the fuse only with the same type
and rating as specied at the fuse holder
(see page 19 for fuse information).
This unit is RoHS compliant.
The Reference 6 has automatic muting to
help protect system components in the
event of low line voltage. When sensing
low line voltage, the preamp displays ‘Low
Line’ and automatically goes into ‘Mute’.
This condition will persist until the line
voltage returns to a safe operating level;
please note the unit will remain in ‘Mute’
even after ‘Low Line’ no longer appears.
Note that automatic muting is only
designed to protect against power line
interruptions or severe voltage drop. It
will not mute in the event of subsonic
transmissions from a faulty input source,
amplier failure or speaker malfunction.
A note about packaging...
Save all packaging in a dry place away from
re hazard. Your Reference 6 preamplier
is a precision electronic instrument
and should be properly cartoned any
time shipment is made. You may not
have occasion to return your unit to the
factory for service, but if that should
prove necessary, or other occasion
requiring shipment occurs, the original
packaging will protect your Reference
6 from unnecessary damage or delay.
