Precautions (please read before use)
Table of Contents
* Do not let water or other liquids, flammable
materials, or metal objects such as pins get
inside the X-12.
These things may cause electrical shock or
short circuit the X-12, and damage it.
If the X-12 should become wet, unplug the
AC adaptor from the AC outlet, and contact
your authorized service station.
* When turning the power on, turn the X-12
on first before turning on any equipment
connected to it. Doing so will avoid possible
damage to the other equipment.
Also, when connecting or disconnecting
cables to or from the X-12’s input or output
jacks, make sure that the [LINE OUT/PHONES]
volume is set to “0.”
* When the AC adaptor is connected to an AC
outlet, it will continue to draw small amounts
of power even if the switch is set to off
(STANDBY). If you will not be using the X-12
for an extended period of time, be sure to
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
Location
* Avoid using the X-12 in the following
locations:
* Locations of extreme low or high
temperatures, or extreme changes in
temperature.
* Locations with excessive moisture or dust.
* Locations where direct sunlight falls for
an extended time, or near a stove or other
source of heat.
* Locations where electrical voltage varies.
* Unstable locations or where there is
heavy vibration.
* Near strong magnetic fields (on top of a
television or speaker).
Power supply
* When unplugging the AC adaptor from the
outlet, be sure to grasp the adaptor.
Attempting to unplug it by pulling on the
AC cable may damage the wiring.
* It is dangerous to use any power cable that
is cut or frayed. If the power cable is
damaged, immediately stop using it, and
have it repaired.
* Do not plug in or unplug the AC adaptor
with wet hands. Doing so may result in
dangerous electric shock.
* Do not open the unit or touch any parts
inside. Doing so may result in a dangerous
electric shock, and could damage the X-12.
