Before

Use

Your

new

Citation

7.1

amplifier

has

been

factory

configured

for

a

specific

line

volt-

age:

110-120

volts

for

North

America

or

220-240

volts

in

most

other

countries.

Connecting

the

amplifier

to

a

line

voltage

other

than

that

for

which

it

is

intended

can

create

a

safety

and

fi

re

hazard,

and

may

damage

the

amplifier.

If

you

have

any

questions

about

the

voltage

requirements

for

your

specific

model,

or

about

the

line

voltage

in

your

area,

contact

your

Citation

dealer

before

plugging

the

unit

into

an

AC

wall

outlet.

Verify

AC

Circuit

Capacity

Before

Use

High

power

output

of

your

Citation

amplifier

requires

heavy

current

draw

under

full

load

conditions.

To

insure

proper

performance,

and

to

avoid

potential

safety

hazards,

we

recommend

that

it

be

connected

to

a

circuit

with

20

ampere

capacity.

Connecting

multiple

amplifiers

to

the

same

circuit,

or

connecting

it

to

a

circuit

used

by

other

heavy

power

devices

such

as

high

wattage

lights

may

cause

circuit

breakers

to

trip.

It

is

always

a

good

idea

to

avoid

using

any

audio

equipment

on

the

same

AC

circuit

as

equipment

with

motors,

such

as

air

conditioners

or

refrigera-

tors.

This

will

lessen

the

possibility

of

power

variation

and

electrical

start-up

noise

affecting

your

sound

system.

Do

Not

Use

Extension

Cords

To

avoid

safety

hazards,

use

only

the

power

cord

supplied

with

your

unit.

If

a

replace-

ment

cord

is

used,

make

certain

that

it

is

of

similar

gauge.

We

do

not

recommend

that

extension

cords

be

used

with

this

product.

As

with

all

electrical

devices,

do

not

run

power

cords

under

rugs

or

carpets

or

place

heavy

objects

on

them.

Damaged

power

cords

should

be

replaced

immediately

with

cords

meeting

facretry

specifications.

Handle

the

AC

Power

Cord

Gently

When

disconnecting

the

power

cord

from

an

AC

outlet,

always

pull

the

plug,

never

pull

the

cord.

If

you

do

not

intend

to

use

the

amplifier

for

any

considerable

length

of

time,

disconnect

the

plug

from

the

AC

outlet.

Do

Not

Open

the

Cabinet

There

are

no

user

serviceable

components

inside

this

product.

Opening

the

cabinet

may

present

a

shock

hazard,

and

any

modification

to

the

product

will

void

your

guarantee.

If

water

or

any

metal

object

such

as

a

paper

clip,

wire

or

a

staple

acci-

dentally

falls

inside

the

unit,

disconnect

it

from

the

AC

power

source

immediately,

and

consult

an

authorized

service

station.
