What me, read a manual?

Before you begin, please make sure you read the Safety Instructions on page 2 and Getting Started on

page 4.

Your new TAPCO

ampliﬁer is designed to set up quickly and operate easily. We know it’s often seen as a

sign of weakness to read a manual, along with asking for directions when lost, but maybe you can read the

rest when nobody is looking.

It is important to keep your receipt in a safe place, and not a bad idea to write your product information

here for future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization, etc.).

19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause

permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in

susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly

everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to suﬃciently

intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has

speciﬁed the permissible noise level exposures shown in the

following chart.

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these

permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To

ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high

sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons

exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound

pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment

is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or

over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment

in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in

excess of the limits set forth here.
