PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER
The Radial SW8 is an electronic device designed to provide the means to backup other electronic
devices. However, like all electronics, the SW8 itself is not totally immune to malfunction.
Because the SW8 is designed to integrate with other devices to form a complete system, a
critical malfunction may not be obvious until the system is asked to perform. This makes it very
important to test your complete playback system before each performance to ensure your system
is working as expected.
Radial Engineering Ltd. will not be held liable for any consequential or inconsequential costs
or damages associated with the use of the SW8. It is understood that connecting, testing and
operating the SW8, along with the application or misapplication, is the sole responsibility of the
end user. For more details refer to the Radial limited warranty.
