Specifications
• Neither Anthem, Sonic Frontiers International, our agents, or any related party assume any liability
whatsoever for the user’s failure to comply with any or all of these requirements.
1.3.1 BEFORE OPERATING YOUR AVM 2
• Do not connect power to the AVM 2 if there are signs of damage to any part of its exterior surface.
• Situate the AVM 2 away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other any
appliances (including power amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Allow two inches (or more) of unobstructed air space above the ventilation slots in the top cover of
the AVM 2. Do not obstruct bottom vents by removing the rubber feet or operating the AVM 2
directly on a carpet, sofa, bed, or similar surface.
• Do not place the AVM 2 in a bookcase or component rack without adequate ventilation.
• Install the AVM 2 in a stable location. Do not mount to a wall or from a ceiling.
• Do not use the AVM 2 near water or a wet environment. Do not expose to rain or moisture.
1.3.2 OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
• If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the AVM 2, the antenna or cable system must
be grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. The
following diagram contains requirements according to the National Electrical Code:
1.3.3 MAINS FUSE TYPE
Use a 1.0 Amp 5mm slow blow fuse only. This is not a user serviceable item (see section 1.3.7).
1.3.4 SUPPLY POWER REQUIREMENTS
The AVM 2 can operate from any single phase AC power source that supplies between 105V and 130V at a
frequency of 60 Hz.
The AVM 2 uses a polarized power cord with one blade wider than the other so that it only fits into the outlet
one way. If the plug cannot be fully inserted with no blade exposed, reverse the plug and try again. If it still
does not fit, you have an obsolete outlet – contact an electrician to replace it.
