Because the VBS1 runs cool, it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. We do not recommend placing weights or other objects directly on the VBS1. This may scratch or mar the chassis finish. Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning the outside of your VBS1. IMPORT ANT! Make all connections before powering your unit! Offering low noise, high transient current and a high degree of isolation from the AC Line supply, the VBS1 is the ideal power source for sensitive audio electronics.
• On the lower left corner of the VBS1 back panel is the AC inlet jack. Connect this jack to an AC power outlet in your home using the included AC power cord. Make sure the AC power outlets in your home have properly functioning grounding. DO NOT use any ground lift adapter plug or ground defeating apparatus at any time. DO NOT remove the grounding prong of the power cable at any time. Improper grounding of the VBS1 could cause the unit to malfunction, and can result in serious bodily injury or even death.
• The VBS1 is designed to power Bel Canto VB equipped products only. Use of any cable other than the supplied power interconnect may damage either the VBS1 or VB equipped unit and will void any warranty. Certain non-VB equipped units can be factory upgraded. To begin the upgrade process, fill out the RMA form in the Support Section of our website. • When connecting your VB unit to the VBS1, be careful to observe the alignment notches on both units power receptacles and the power interconnect cable.
