EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND SYMBOLS
The term “WARNING!” indicates instructions regarding personal safety. If the instructions are not followed the result may be bodily injury or death.
The term “CAUTION!” indicates instructions regarding possible damage to physical equipment. If these instructions are not followed, it may result in

The term “IMPORTANT!” indicates instructions or information that are vital to the successful completion of the procedure.
The term "NOTE" is used to indicate additional useful information.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol in a triangle is to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated "dangerous" voltage within
the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is to alert the user to the presence of important safety, and operating and
maintenance instructions in this manual.
NOTE:
This Quick Start Guide is based on the basic configuration as the amplifier comes from the factory: four separate inputs
and four separate outputs. For detailed instructions for custom configurations refer to the CXD User Guide (TD-000367).
