Security Advices
Connections
Only use the connections as described. Other connections can lead to health risks and
damage the equipment.
Water and humidity
Do not use this device anywhere near water (for example in a bath room, a damp cellar,
near swimming pools, or similar environments). Otherwise your are dealing with an
extremely high risk of fatal electrical shocks!
Insertion of objects or fluids
Be careful to not insert any object into any of the chassis openings. You can otherwise
easily come into contact with dangerous voltage or cause a damaging short circuit. Never
allow any fluids to be spilled or sprayed on the device. Such actions can lead to dangrous
electrical shocks or fire!
Ventilation
The vent openings on the unit are meant to avoid the Gemini from overheating. You should
never cover nor block these openings.
Power Supply
Power the unit exclusively with the voltage rating specified on the unit. In case of doubt,
contact your local dealer or electric provider. Disconnect the unit from the electric power
grid if you are not going to use it for a long period of time. Unplug the power chord from
the mains to cut power supply to the unit. Always make sure that the mains plug is easily
accessible.
Opening the unit
Simply put: DON‘T, if you are not a certified SPL technician or engineer. Really: Do not
open the device housing, as there is great risk you will damage the device, or – even after
being disconnected – you may receive a dangerous electrical shock!
Cord protection
Make sure that your power and audio signal cords are arranged to avoid being stepped on
or any kind of crimping and damage related to such event. Do not allow any equipment or
furniture to crimp the cords. Power connection overloads: Avoid any kind of overload in
connections to wall sockets, extension or splitter power cords, or signal inputs. Always
keep manufacturer warnings and instructions in mind. Overloads create fire hazards and
risk of dangerous shocks!
Lightning
Before thunderstorms or other severe weather, disconnect the device from wall power;
do not do this during a storm in order to avoid life threatening lightning strikes. Similarly,
before any severe weather, disconnect all the power connections of other devices and
antenna and phone/network cables which may be interconnected so that no lightning
damage or overload results from such secondary connections.
