Service and maintenance
For reasons of safety, please ensure that servicing, repairs and other modifications to
OCTAVE equipment are carried out only by a qualified technician. Defective fuses
should also only be replaced by a qualified technician. Always replace fuses with ones
of the same type and rating. If your amplifier requires servicing, please ship or take
your equipment directly to OCTAVE or to one of our authorized service centers.

Make sure that the voltage of your wall adapter power supply matches your local sup-
ply voltage.
Placement
2.2.
The equipment is designed strictly for use in a dry domestic environment. Do not
use it in open air or in damp environments!
Never place plants or liquid-filled containers on the equipment. Take care that
objects do not fall or liquids are not spilled into the enclosure. Should this happen,
disconnect the mains plug immediately and have your amplifier checked by a
qualified service technician.
Condensation may form if the amplifier is taken from a cold environment into a
warm one. In this case, wait until the amplifier has reached room temperature and
is dry before switching it on.
Avoid installing the amplifier close to sources of heat, such as heaters, or any-
where that it may be in direct sunlight.
Do not operate the equipment near flammable materials, gases, or vapors. Avoid
areas where there may be heavy accumulations of dust or where the amplifier
may be subject to mechanical vibration.
Place your equipment on a stable, even surface.
