PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER
The Radial SW8 is a 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 miss-application, is the sole responsibility of the end user. For more details refer to the Radial limited warranty.
