Installation | Unpacking
Before unpacking your PowerQuest 707 EU, inspect the carton for any obvious damage to the boxes
and internal protective materials. If internal damage is likely, contact the carrier who delivered the unit.
If shipping damage is evident on the product, then please contact your shipping carrier. Please save all
shipping and packing materials. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your PowerQuest 707 EU,
these packing materials will ensure the safest transportation. The carton should contain the PowerQuest 707
EU (220-240V Schuko AC Outlets), two foam inserts, owner’s manual, rack-mount kit, and 2m PowerQuest
PQ-716 AC power cord. Registration is recommended. In the event that your original ownership documents
are lost, your registration can be used to establish whether the unit is within the warranty period.
Safety Information | Warnings
Before operating the PowerQuest 707 EU, please read and observe all safety and operating instructions.
Retain these instructions for future reference.
¡ Do not disassemble or in any way modify the PowerQuest 707 EU. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
¡ Keep away from moisture and avoid excessive humidity.
¡ Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the unit.
Servicing | Return to AudioQuest
Servicing of the PowerQuest 707 EU must be performed by AudioQuest, and is only required when:
¡ The PowerQuest 707 EU has been exposed to rain, ooding, or extreme moisture.
¡ The PowerQuest 707 EU does not appear to operate normally. (See “Trouble-Shooting Guide.”)
¡ The PowerQuest 707 EU has been dropped and sustained considerable physical damage.
If sending the PowerQuest 707 EU to AudioQuest for servicing (or shipping it for any reason), please use the
factory-approved packaging materials. If you have lost any of these (carton, two foam inserts, one poly bag),
please contact AudioQuest for replacements. We will provide replacement packaging materials for a nominal
charge; shipping costs will be paid by the individual or company requesting the packaging material. Please
do not rely on other methods of packaging, including those provided or suggested by packaging/mailing
stores. These methods and materials could seriously damage the product, as well as its nish. Even the loss of
the thick polybag is enough to permanently damage the nish during transport. If you have lost the original
packaging material, please request replacement materials from AudioQuest.
Power Source
Ideally, the power source to which the PowerQuest 707 EU is connected should be adequate for use at 220-
240V single phase nominal voltage, 10 amps (current capacity RMS or greater).
For proper operation, the PowerQuest 707 EU requires a safety ground (supplied via the power utility AC wall outlet).
Placement
The PowerQuest 707 EU is manufactured with four rubber textured polymer feet for safe, secure placement
on any table, cabinet, shelf, or oor. When rack-mounting is required, these feet may be removed with
a standard Phillips screwdriver. Placement or proximity to other components is not critical, and, under
standard use, the PowerQuest 707 EU does not produce any appreciable heat. The PowerQuest 707 EU may
be rack-mounted in a standard 19” rack by attaching the included 2-RU rack ears. To attach the optional
