damaged in any way, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally or has been dropped.
• Adjustments or alterations to this apparatus may
affect the performance such that safety and/or
international compliance standards may no longer
be met.
Power Safety
This apparatus is supplied with a universal power supply,
approved and certified for operation with this apparatus –
adaptors are supplied to enable use world-wide, as required.
There are no user-replaceable fuses.
•
Where the universal power supply is required, use
only the Solid State Logic-provided power supply.
Use of any other power supply is not covered by
your warranty and may cause fire or explosion.
•
Any external power supply may become hot during
normal operation of the unit. Use care when
handling the power supply.
•
Do not attempt to modify the power supply unit in
any way – other than to fit the appropriate power
adaptor, as required (see overleaf).
•
If an extension power cable or adaptor is used,
ensure that the total power rating of the power cable
and/or adaptor is not exceeded.
•
The power socket used for this apparatus should be
located nearby and be easily accessible.
• Unplug this apparatus during an electrical storm or
when unused for long periods of time.
Installation Notes
•
When installing this apparatus, place the apparatus
on a secure level surface.
• Ensure that no strain is placed on the cables
connecting to this apparatus.
•
Ensure also that such cables are not placed where
they can be stepped on, pulled or tripped over.
• Do not operate this apparatus whilst it is covered or
boxed in any way.
A high quality IEEE1394/Firewire 400 cable is supplied. Use of
alternative, inferior cables may result in reduced performance,
including increased susceptibility to external interference.
Although IEEE1394/Firewire permits ‘hot-plugging’ there are
persistent reports of permanent damage caused to either host
or peripheral equipment by this practice. Therefore, Solid State
Logic
strongly recommends that IEEE1394/Firewire
connections are made only when both the host and Duende
units are unpowered.
This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV
technician for help.
