XP 20 Owners Manual Rev 0.4 2
For your protection please read the following:
Water and moisture: Electrical devices should not be used near water (as per
example, near a bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, wet basement or
swimming pool ). Care should be taken such that objects do not have the opportunity to
fall, and that liquid is never spilled onto or into the device enclosure through openings.
Power Sources: An electrical device must be connected to a mains power source in
strict accordance with the supplied product owner’s manual. Please verify that the AC
mains voltage specified in the product manual matches those requirements indicated on
the unit and the AC voltage provided to your location by the power company.
Grounding: Adequate precautions should be taken so that the grounding provisions
built into an electrical product are never defeated.
Power Cords: Pass Laboratories provides a power supply cord that meets all
legislated requirements for the market in which the product was originally sold. If you
choose to substitute an after-market product we urge you to choose one that is fully
safety rated by the necessary local authority.
Power Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on, abraded, or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying
particular attention to cords where they enter plugs or exit from a device. Never under
any circumstance insert a cut or damaged power cord into a mains power socket.
Power and Signal: Cables should never be connected / disconnected with equipment
powered up. Failure to heed this warning may damage or destroy equipment.
Ventilation: Power-amplifiers run hot, but you should be able to place your hands on
them without discomfort. You must allow for this heat in installation, by providing for
free air circulation around the product. Electronics should not be subjected to sources
of excessive radiant heat. Excessive heat can shorten the life of the product and may
cause the electronics to self-protect and shut down.
Servicing: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or other injuries, the user should
not attempt to service the device beyond that which is described in the operating
instructions. All other servicing must be referred to qualified service personnel.
