ENGLISH

Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your HK3270 RDS has been designed for
use with 220-240-volt AC current.
Connection to a line voltage other than
that for which it is intended can create a
safety and fire hazard, and may damage
the unit.

If you have any questions about the
voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your
area, contact your selling dealer before
plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power
cord attached to your unit. 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 factory
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 unit 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 staple
accidentally falls inside the unit,
disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized
service station. 

■

To assure proper operation, and to avoid
the potential for safety hazards, place
the unit on a firm and level surface.
When placing the unit on a shelf, be
certain that the shelf and any mounting
hardware can support the weight of the
product.

■

Make certain that proper space is
provided both above and below the unit
for ventilation. If this product will be
installed in a cabinet or other enclosed
area, make certain that there is
sufficient air movement within the
cabinet. Under some circumstances a
fan may be required.

■

Do not place the unit directly on a
carpeted surface. 

■

Avoid installation in extremely hot or
cold locations, or an area that is exposed
to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

■

Avoid moist or humid locations.

■

Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on
the top of the unit, or place objects
directly over them.

Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a
clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it
with a soft cloth dampened with mild
soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean
water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry
cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol
cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other
volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the
finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying
insecticide near the unit.

Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to
disconnect any interconnection cords with
other components, and make certain that
you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

The carton and shipping materials used to
protect your new receiver during shipment
were specially designed to cushion it from
shock and vibration. We suggest that you
save the carton and packing materials for
use in shipping if you move, or should the
unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in
storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is
done by carefully slitting the tape seams
on the bottom and collapsing the carton
down to a more two-dimensional
appearance. Other cardboard inserts may
be stored in the same manner. Packing
materials that cannot be collapsed should
be saved along with the carton in a plastic
bag. 

If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton and
other sections of the shipping protection
are recyclable. Please respect the
environment and discard those materials
at a local recycling center.
