1. Unpacking and Placing the Unit
Lay the package on a table. Open the box by lifting the front wing. The following items are
included:
one Evo DAC 3;
one wall wart (AC-to-DC adapter);
one remote control;
two AAA type batteries.
Should one or more item be missing, please contact your retail dealer.
Remove the Evo DAC 3 from the box and place it onto a stable base, far from heat
sources. Avoid full sunlight on the unit. Allow for ample room around the unit for venting.
The Evo DAC 3 is a high efficiency device; therefore it doesn’t produce relevant heat during
its operation. Regardless, it’s recommended to guarantee an adequate air flow around the
unit. Moreover, every time it will mainly be operated by remote control, it’s recommended
to place it so as the remote control’s infrared signals can easily reach its front panel.
Avoid smoke, moisture, dirt and liquids from reaching the unit. Please note that any signs
of abuse will void warranty coverage.
Do not place the unit on thick carpets or inside a box or piece of furniture, not even close
to curtains.
