expose your VT80 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

The detachable power cord on your VT80 is
equipped with a heavy gauge, 3-conductor
cable and a standard three-prong (US)
grounding plug appropriate to the country
to which it is originally shipped. For absolute
protection, do not defeat the ground power
plug. This provides power line grounding
of the VT80 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 VT80 shipped outside North America is
shipped with a protective, ventilated cover.
While the cover may be removed, its use is
recommended to prevent accidental contact
with the hot vacuum tubes.
For continued protection against re hazard,
replace the fuse only with the same type and
rating as specied at the fuse holder.

A note about packaging...
Save all packaging in a dry place away from
re hazard. Your VT80 ampli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 VT80 from unnecessary
damage or delay.
