IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
 
Water: Do not use the unit near any source of water or in excessively 
moist environments. 
 
Ventilation: Foxes like to keep it cool. When installing the unit in a rack or 
any other location, the Fox should be located so that its position does not 
interfere with its proper ventilation. It is normal for this unit to generate a 
degree of heat. Improper ventilation will cause overheating, and can 
damage the unit. The unit should be situated away from heat sources, or 
other equipment that produce heat. 
 
Placement: Placing your Fox in close proximity to power amplifiers or 
equipment containing large transformers is likely to induce hum. If the unit 
is operated near TV or radio receivers, some type of interference might be 
noticeable. In such cases, move the unit out of proximity with the 
entertainment devices. 
 
Power Sources: AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are 
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. 
Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet. Do not pull the cord 
-- always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it. Use a 
separate power outlet for this unit -- sharing one with distortion producing 
devices (such as motors, variable lighting devices) is unwise. 
The AC power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the AC outlet 
when left unused for a long period of time. 
 
****BEFORE PLUGGING IN YOUR FOX, MAKE SURE 
THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH ON THE REAR PANEL 
IS SET CORRECTLY FOR THE VOLTAGE IN YOUR AREA! 
 MAKE SURE THE FOX IS OFF BEFORE CONNECTING 
THE AC POWER SUPPLY. THIS WILL HELP TO 
PREVENT MALFUNCTION AND SPEAKER DAMAGE. 
 
Grounding: This unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction, 
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce 
the risk of electric shock. This unit's cord has an equipment grounding 
conductor and a grounding plug, which must be plugged into an appropriate 
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local 
codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided with the unit – if it 
will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 
 
Cleaning: Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquid is not 
spilled into the enclosure through openings. Avoid using the product where it 
may be affected by dust.
