precautions
2
All safety and operating instructions should be read and adhered to exactly
as written here or as depicted on the unit. Please retain for future reference
The unit sould not be used near water - that is, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or swimming pool, etc.
The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere
with its ventilation. For example, the unit should not be placed on a bed, sofa,
rug, or similar surface, that may block the ventilation openings; or placed in
a built-in installation, such as bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow
of air through the ventilation openings.
The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
stoves, etc.
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, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the unit.
For added protection during a lightning storm, or when left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled
into the inside of the unit. For this reason, no objects filled with liquid, such as
vases or drinking glasses should be placed on the equipment.
The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
- The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged
- Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit
- The unit has been exposed to rain
- The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a change in performance
- The unit has been dropped, or the cbinet damaged
Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization is
not defeated.
All Heed components are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a domestic installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If your Abacus does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
- the separation between amplifier and receiver (radio tuner, television set, etc.)
- Connect the equipment into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected;
- your Heed dealer or any experienced radio/TV technician for help.
It is recommended to dust the equipment from time to time with a soft dry cloth.

Damage requiring service
The Abacus d/a converter do not have any user serviceable parts. It is essential that repairs and updates
are only carried out by our authorised trade partners - distributors and dealers -, or at the factory by Heed Audio
itself. Many components are custom made, tested or matched and appropriate replacements are often
unobtainable from other sources.
Therefore, users should not attempt to service the units beyond those means described in the operating
instructions, or under any circumstances allow anyone to modify them. Unautrorised repairs or modifications
will invalidate the guarantee of the units.
