IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of non insulated dangerous voltage within the
products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove

The mains operating voltage of all QUAD
Artera series units is shown on the rear panel. If this voltage
does not match the mains voltage in your area, consult your
QUAD dealer about converting the unit.
The mains supply fuse on the rear panel is accessible when
the IEC mains plug has been removed. In the rare event that
it has broken, check for any obvious cause before replacing
the fuse with one of the correct rating and type. The fuse
values are:
220 240V (UK, China, etc.) T4.0AL 250V Slow Blow
100 120V (USA, Japan, etc.) T8.0AL 250V Slow Blow
WARNING: Only use attachments/accessories specified or
provided by the manufacturer (such as the exclusive supply
adapter, battery etc.).
WARNING: For the terminals marked with symbol of
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock. The external wiring connected to the terminals
requires installation by an instructed person or the used of
