NOTE The amplifier's weight must always rest on its bottom feet when placed on to a surface. Never put the amplifier down on its rear panel, with its front panel facing up. Doing so risks damage to the input/output connectors. The amplifier generates a moderate amount of heat, requiring internal ventilation. Do not permit the air inlet and outlet grilles on the top, bottom, side, and back cover to be obstructed by papers or other materials. NOTE To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not permit liquid or moisture to enter the amplifier. If liquid is accidentally spilled on it, immediately shut off the power and unplug the AC Mains cable from the wall outlet. Do not open the amplifier or attempt to modify or repair it yourself. Refer all servicing to a qualified technician. Specifications or design subject to change without notice. All specifications are those in effect at time of printing.

We recommend that you do not substitute the mounting hardware. DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS ENGLISH Introduction EXPLANATION OF GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. ENGLISH FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO PORTUGUÊS SVENSKA 4 The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. PRECAUTIONS Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below. INSTALLATION 1 Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water, such as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. 2 Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater then 35°C (95°F). 3 Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface. 4 Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper ventilation is assured. allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side. - Do not place on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings. - Do not install the unit in a bookcase cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded. 5 Objects and liquid entry - Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings. 6 Carts and stands - When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart to overturn or fall. 7 Wall or ceiling mounting - The unit should not be mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions. WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRONIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE This product is manufactured to comply with the radio interference requirements of EEC DIRECTIVE 89/68/EEC and 73/23/EEC Introduction ELECTRIC POWER 1 Power Sources - Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit. 2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet. 3 AC power cord - When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself. · Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock. · Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket. · Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock. 4 Extension cord - To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug. 5 When not in use - Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off. CAUTION Modifications or adjustments to this product, which are not expressly approved by the manufacturer, may void the user's right or authority to operate this product. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE Have the unit serviced by a qualified service technician if · The AC power plug has been damaged. · Foreign objects or liquid have gotten inside the unit. · The unit has been exposed to rain or water - The unit does not seem to operate normally. · The unit exhibits a marked change in performance. · The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF OWNER'S RECORD For your convenience, record the model number and serial number (you will find them on the rear of your set) in the space provided below. Please refer to them when you contact your dealer in case of difficulty. Model No. : Serial No. : 5 SVENSKA PORTUGUÊS ITALIANO ESPAÑOL NEDERLANDS DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS ENGLISH Operation NAD ATO LOGIC The CI-series amplifier may be turned on in any one of three discrete ways for complete system flexibility: From the front-panel switch, the 12V-TRIGGER circuit, or by a "SLEEP/WAKE" signal-sensing circuit. The ON/OFF power control is managed by the Automated Turn-On logic or ATO Logic circuit that requires the amplifier to be switched back to standby in the same manner by which it was activated. In other words, if the amplifier is switched on via a 12V-control signal, it cannot be switched to standby via the front-panel switch, it must wait for removal of the 12V-control signal. In practice, you probably would use only one of the methods once the NAD CI-series amplifier is installed.

The OMC controls individual amplifier channels by managing the input level, in case of deliberately excessive input signal, and/or output level, in case of speaker or speaker cable fault. This not only protects the amplifier, but it also prevents loads attached to the amplifier from heating up excessively, an important factor when the reliability of an installed system is a consideration. When the OMC detects a potential fault situation and begins to limit current flow, an amber-coloured LED illuminates on the front panel to alert the installer/owner of a problem in the system. When the OMC is activated, the amplifier will continue to play without distortion, but the power level will be reduced to the amplifier channel that has the problem. If the fault condition persists and the impedance becomes too low the affected channels will initiate the NAD Protection Circuitry (see NAD Protection Circuitry below). NAD PROTECTION CIRCUITRY Every design decision, both electronic and mechanical, was made with absolute reliability of the amplifier as the primary goal. An auto-resetting protection circuit is also part of the CI-series amplifiers' design. The fast acting protection circuit jumps into action if the amplifier overheats or encounters a short circuit condition. A red front-panel LED indicates that the Protection circuit has been activated. Only the amplifiers being affected by a short circuit condition will be in the protection mode; all other channels will continue to play normally ...
