Important Safety Instructions – Read First
Read instructions:
Retain these safety and operating instructions for future reference. Adhere to all
warnings printed here and on the console. Follow the operating instructions printed in
this User Guide.
Do not open:
Operate the console with its front and crossfader panels correctly fitted. Disconnect
mains power by unplugging the power cord if a panel needs to be removed for
servicing. Refer this work to competent technical personnel only.
Power sources:
Connect the console to a mains power only of the type described in this User Guide and
marked on the rear panel. The power source must provide a good ground connection.
Power cord:
Use the power cord with sealed mains plug appropriate for your local mains supply as
provided with the console. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet consult your
service agent for assistance. Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked
on, stretched or pinched by items placed upon or against it.
Grounding:
Do not defeat the grounding and polarisation means of the power cord plug. Do not
remove or tamper with the ground connection in the power cord.
Ventilation:
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots or position the console where the air flow required
for ventilation is impeded. If the console is to be operated in a rack unit or flightcase
ensure that it is constructed to allow adequate ventilation.
Moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose the console to rain or moisture
or use it in damp or wet conditions. Do not place containers of liquids on it which might
spill into any openings.
Heat: Do not locate the console in a place subject to excessive heat or direct sunlight as this
could be a fire hazard. Locate the console away from any equipment which produces
heat such as power supplies, power amplifiers and heaters.
Environment: Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and storing. Avoid
tobacco ash, drinks spillage, and smoke, especially that associated with smoke
machines.
Handling: To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects on the
control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough handling and
vibration. Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use adequate packing if you
need to ship the unit.
Servicing: Switch off the equipment and unplug the power cord immediately if it is exposed to
moisture, spilled liquid, objects fallen into the openings, the power cord or plug become
damaged, during lightening storms, or if smoke, odour or noise is noticed. Refer
servicing to qualified technical personnel only.
Installation: Install the console in accordance with the instructions printed in this User Guide. Do not
connect the output of power amplifiers directly to the console. Use audio connectors
and plugs only for their intended purpose.
