POUR PREVENIR LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES NE PAS UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISEE AVEC UN PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE CE COURANT OU UNE AUTRE SORTIE CE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES PEUVENT ETRE INSEREES A FOND SANS EN LAISSER AUCUNE PARTIE A DECOUVERT. ATTENTION CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. CAUTION The graphic symbol of a lightning flash with an arrow point within a triangle signifies that there is dangerous voltage within the unit and it poses a hazard to anyone removing the cover to gain RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK access to the interior of the unit. OnIy qualified DO NOT OPEN service personnel should make any such attempt. CAUTION Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines. If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner/preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4 mm2) aluminum, No.17 AWG (1.0 mm2) copper clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire. b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 46 feet (1.221.83 m) apart. c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house. d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm2) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).

RADIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT. power lines CAUTION POWER LINES OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING The graphic symbol of an exclamation point within an equilateral triangle warns a user of the device that it is necessary to refer to the instruction manual and its warnings for proper operation of the unit. Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the device should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Read all the safety and operating instructions before connecting or using this unit. Retain this notice and the owner's manual for future reference. All warnings on the unit and in its operating instructions should be adhered to. All operating and use instructions should be followed. Do not use this unit near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. The unit should be installed so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated 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 its ventilation openings. The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat. The unit should be connected to a power supply outlet only of the voltage and frequency marked on its rear panel. The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles, or where the cord exits from the unit. Clean unit only as recommended in its instruction manual. The power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the wall outlet when it is to be unused for a long period of time. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled, into the enclosure through any openings. This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the unit; or C. The unit has been exposed to rain, or liquids of any kind; or D. The unit does not appear to operate normally, or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. The device has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. DO NOT ATTEMPT SERVICING OF THIS UNIT YOURSELF. 4 | ADCOM GTP-602 Owner's Manual REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. ground clamp service entrance conductors standoff insulators, b mast antenna lead-in wire ground wire, a,b ground clamps service entrance equipment antenna discharge unit, c to external antenna terminals of radio receiver power service grounding electrode system (e.g. interior metal water pipe) bonding jumper, d ground wire, a,b ground clamps optional antenna grounding electrode driven 8 feet (2.44 M) into the earth if required by local codes. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 82022 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Congratulations on your decision to purchase the GTP-602 tuner/ preamplifier. Your new ADCOM component was designed to deliver incredible sound and years of reliable performance. Audition the GTP-602 paired with an ADCOM power amp and DVD player and you will experience what high performance is all about. To realize the full potential of your GTP-602, and before making any connections to it, please read these operating and installation instructions thoroughly. Placing the GTP-602 Although the GTP-602 does not generate much heat, it is good practice to provide adequate ventilation for the unit. Therefore, the GTP-602 should be kept away from external sources of heat such as radiators and hot-air ducts. We recommend that you exercise care when placing components on top of the GTP-602. If you are placing a heat producing component (such as an amplifier) on top of or below the GTP-602, it is recommended that you allow at least three (3) inches vertical spacing for proper airflow. We also recommend that you leave five (5) inches of space behind the unit for additional airflow and to allow space for interconnects to hang freely. Safety Information There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage specified on the rear panel. Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cable. Do not defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. The cable should be connected to a 3-pin polarized wall outlet, matching the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot of the receptacle. Do not use extension cords. Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit. The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet if the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time. Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced by a qualified service agency if: · the power supply cord or plug has been damaged; · objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit; · the unit has been exposed to rain; · the unit shows signs of improper operation; or · the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way. Key Features · RDS tuner · Phono input stage · RS 232 control · Torriodial power transformer Unpacking the GTP-602 Before your new ADCOM tuner-preamplifier left our factory, it was carefully inspected for physical imperfections and tested for all electrical parameters as a routine part of ADCOM's systematic quality control. This, along with full operational and mechanical testing, should ensure a product flawless in both appearance and performance. After you have unpacked the GTP602, inspect it for physical damage. Save the shipping carton and all packing material as they are intended to reduce the possibility of transportation damage should the preamplifier ever need to be shipped again. In the unlikely event damage has occurred, notify your dealer immediately and request the name of the carrier so a written claim to cover shipping damages can be initiated. The right to a claim against a public carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is not notified promptly in writing and if the shipping carton and ...
