SAFETY

Safety  guidelines  are  set  out  on  the  inside  front  cover  of  this 
handbook. 

Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for your own 
safety,  and  to  ensure  that  you  do  not  damage  the  unit,  we  strongly 
recommend that you read them.

All Arcam  products  have  been  designed  to  very  high  standards  of 
electromagnetic compatibility.

However,  both  CD  players  and  DVD  players  generate  RF  (radio 
frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM 
and AM radio reception. If this is the case, switch the player off or keep 
the player and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials 
as possible. Connecting the player and the tuner/amplifier to different 
mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.

This product has been designed to comply with directive 89/336/EEC.

This product complies with FCC requirements. If the equipment causes 
interference to radio/television reception, which can be determined by 
switching  the  equipment  off  and  on,  the  following  measures  should 
be  taken:  Re-orientate  the  receiving  antenna  or  route  the  antenna 
cable  of  the  receiver  as  far  as  possible  from  this  appliance  and  its 
cabling. Relocate the receiver with respect to this appliance. Connect 
the  receiver  and  this  appliance  to  different  mains  power  outlets.  If 
the problem persists contact your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer 
Support on +44 (0)1223 203203.
