Rockford Fosgate FA15.0 - Manual (Page 17)

– 12 –
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral tri-
angle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dan-
gerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of suffi-
cient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
1. Read Instructions
All the safety and operating instructions of your Fosgate Audionics
equipment should be read before power is applied to the equip-
ment.
2. Retain Owner’s Manual
These safety and operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS
All warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions are
important and should be followed.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
All operating and use instructions are important and should be fol-
lowed.
5. HEAT
The equipment should be kept away from areas of high temperature,
i.e., heater vents, radiators, stoves/ovens, fireplaces, etc.
6. VENTILATION
The equipment should be used in an area suitable for proper venti-
lation. Care should be taken not to impede airflow in and around
the cabinet.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE
The equipment should not be used in or around water, such as a
bathtub, sink, or swimming area. Also, the equipment should not be
used in areas prone to flooding, such as a basement.
8. POWER SOURCES
The equipment should be connected only to a power source of the
same voltage and frequency as that listed on the rear panel above
the power cord entry point.
9. POWER CORD PROTECTION
Power cords should be arranged so they do not interfere with the
movement of objects in the room: people, fan blades, utility carts,
etc. Also, care should be taken that the cord is not pinched or cut,
and placed so it is not in danger of being pinched or cut, as in under
a rug, around a tight corner, etc.
10. POWER CORD GROUNDING
The power supply cord is of a three wire grounded type, designed to
reduce the risk of electric shock sustained from a live cabinet. It is
assumed to be of suitable length for most uses of the equipment.
The use of extension cords and power strips is discouraged unless
they are of suitable rating to deliver the required total current for safe
operation of all connected equipment. Furthermore, extension
cords or power strips must provide the same three wire grounded
connection. It is important that the blades of the equipment’s plug
be able to fully insert into the mating receptacle. Never remove the
round grounding pin on the plug in an attempt to mate to a two wire
ungrounded receptacle: use a grounding adapter with the grounding
tab or wire suitably connected to earth ground.
11. NON-USE PERIODS
During periods of extended non-use, the power cord should be
unplugged from the power source.
12. CLEANING
The equipment should be cleaned only as detailed in the operating
instructions.
13. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Care should be taken so that objects and/or liquids, such as clean-
ing fluids or beverages, are not spilled into the enclosure of the
equipment.
14. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
Fosgate Audionics equipment should be serviced by qualified ser-
vice personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or plug has been damaged, or
B. Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has been spilled into the
equipment, or
C. The equipment has been exposed to rain, or
D. The equipment does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance, or
E. The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure has
been damaged.
15. SERVICING
The user should not attempt to service the equipment beyond that
which is described in the operating instructions. All other service
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
16. CARTS AND STANDS
The equipment should be used with carts or stands only of sufficient
strength and stability for the use intended.
An equipment and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops and starts, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the equipment and cart combination to topple.
