Instruction Manual

Mephisto will power down imme-
diately: Normal operation can
resume when the error condition
is corrected.
OVERHEATING:
When excessive heat is detect-
ed, the thermal sensor will react
and the amplifier will go in stand-
by mode. Normal operation can
resume when the temperature is
within safe operating limits.
SHORT CIRCUIT:
Special care should be taken at
all times to avoid shorting the
loudspeaker outputs. If a short
