dangers. The following are examples of such risks and do not represent an
exhaustive list:
Power supply/Power cord
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, do not place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip
over, or roll anything over it. Only use the voltage indicated on the device.
Only use the supplied power cord/plug.
If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased

your dealer.
Be sure to connect the device to an appropriate mains socket outlet with a
protective grounding connection. Improper grounding can cause electrical
shock.
Do not open
This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the device or
attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, turn off the power immediately, unplug the
power cord from the mains socket outlet and have it inspected by a qualified
professional.
Water warning
Do not expose the device to rain, or use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place anything on it (such as vases, bottles or glasses)
containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as
water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the mains socket outlet. Then have the device inspected by a
qualified professional. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet
hands.
Fire warning
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may
fall over and cause a fire.
Lightning
Before thunderstorms or other severe weather, disconnect the device from the
mains socket outlet; do not do this during a storm in order to avoid life
threatening lightning strikes. Similarly, disconnect all the power connections
of other devices, antenna and phone/network cables which may be interconnected
so that no damage results from such secondary connections.
If you notice any abnormality
When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power
switch and disconnect the electric plug from the mains socket outlet. Then
have the device inspected by a qualified professional.
- The power cord or plug gets frayed or damaged.
- The device emits unusual smells or smoke.
- An object has fallen into the unit.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during the use of the the device.
Caution
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of
physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property.
These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
When removing the electric plug from the device or an mains socket outlet,
always pull on the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling the cord may damage
it. Unplug the device from the mains socket outlet when the device is not used
for a while.
XLR output connector
Touching the open pins of the XLR output connector may result in an
uncomfortable feeling.
Location
Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over. Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes to
prevent the internal temperature from rising too high. In particular, do not
place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result
in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device or even fire. Do not
place the device in a location where it may come into contact with corrosive
gases or salty air. This may result in malfunction.
Before moving the device, remove all connected cables. When setting up the
device, make sure that the mains socket outlet you are using is easily
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the plug from the mains socket outlet. Even when
the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at
a minimum rate. When you are not using the device for a long time, make sure
to unplug the power cord from the wall mains socket outlet.
Connections
Before connecting the device to other devices, power down all devices. Before
power on or off the devices, set all volume levels to minimum. Only use
appropriate cables to connect the device with other devices. Make sure that
the cables you use are intact and comply with the electrical specifications of
the connection. Other connections can lead to health risks and damage the
equipment.
Handling
Operate the controls and switches only as described in the manual. Incorrect
adjustments outside safe parameters can lead to damage. Never use excessive
force on the switches or controls. Do not insert your fingers or hands in any
gaps or openings of the device. Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects
(paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings of the device. If this
happens, power down immediately and unplug the power cord from the mains
socket outlet. Then have the device inspected by a qualified professional. Do
not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations or extreme cold or heat
(such as direct sunlight, near a heater or in a car during the day) to prevent
the possibility of causing damage to the housing, the internal components or
unstable operation.
If the ambient temperature of the device suddenly changes, condensation can
occur (if for example the device is relocated or is affected by a heater or
air conditioning). Using the device while condensation is present may result
in malfunction. Do not power on the device for a few hours until the
condensation is gone. Only then it is safe to power on.
Cleaning
Disconnect the device from your mains socket outlet before cleaning. Do not
use any solvents, as these can damage the chassis finish. Use a dry cloth, if
necessary, with an acid free cleaning oil.
