- On your computer, open your DJ software application.
- Once the software opens, search for your music, video, and/or karaoke files.
- Once a supported file is found, load the file to one of the software decks.
- Repeat the process to assign a file to the other software deck.
Features
Top Panel
- Mini-USB Port: Plug the included mini-USB cable into this port and into the USB port of your computer to power DJ2GO2. DJ2GO2 is class-compliant, so it is “plug-and-play” – no separate driver installation is necessary.

should NEVER be kept or stored in damp environments.
NOTICE CONCERNING FCC REGULATIONS: You are cautioned that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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: (a) reorient or
relocate the receiving antenna; (b) move this unit; (c) increase the
separation between the equipment and receiver; (d) connect the equipment into
an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected;
(e) be sure that all cables are properly shielded, using a choke or ferrite
where appropriate; or (f) consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users
must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
For Canadian models:
-
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. -
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
-
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
-
This unit does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
ESD/EFT Warning: This unit may contain a microcomputer for signal
processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe
interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause
it to lock up. In the unlikely event that this should happen, turn off the
unit, wait at least five seconds, and then turn it back on again.
The pins of connectors identified with this ESD warning symbol should not be
touched.
For best audio quality, avoid using this device in a high RF-radiated
environment. In an environment with radio frequency interference, the unit may
malfunction and resume normal operation after removal of the interference.
