• Risk of injury and choking hazard for children!
  Children can suffocate on packaging material and small parts. Children can injure themselves when handling the device. Never allow children to play with the packaging material and the device. Always store packaging material out of the reach of babies and small children. Always dispose of packaging material properly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without supervision. Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does not shed any small parts (such as knobs) that children could play with.

• Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury!
  In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries. Handle lithium batteries correctly and professionally. Store lithium batteries in a cool and dry place in their original packaging. Keep lithium batteries away from sources of heat. Never open lithium batteries. Only charge rechargeable lithium batteries with a suitable charger. Remove the lithium batteries before disposing of the device. Cover the poles of used lithium batteries with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits. Electrolytes can escape from damaged lithium batteries. Put the damaged lithium battery in air-tight packaging. Collect the electrolyte with absorbent paper. Wear rubber gloves while doing so.

• Possible damage due to leaking batteries!
  Batteries can leak and cause permanent damage to the device. Remove the batteries from the device if you are not planning to use it for an extended period.

• Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity!
  Incorrectly inserted batteries may cause fires and destroy the device and the batteries. Observe the markings on the batteries and the device. Ensure that proper polarity is observed when inserting batteries.

• Damage to the device due to high voltages!
  The device can be damaged if it is operated with the incorrect voltage or if high voltage peaks occur. In the worst case, excess voltages can also cause a risk of injury and fires. Make sure that the voltage specification on the device matches the local power grid before plugging in the device. Only operate the device from professionally installed mains sockets that are protected by a residual current circuit breaker (FI). As a precaution, disconnect the device from the power grid when storms are approaching or if the device will not be used for a longer period.

• Possible staining due to plasticizer in rubber feet!
  The plasticizer contained in the rubber feet of this product may react with the coating of the floor and cause permanent dark stains after some time. If necessary, use a suitable mat or felt slide to prevent direct contact between the device’s rubber feet and the floor.

• Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
  The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient condi-tions. Only operate the device indoors within the ambient conditions specified in the “Technical specifications”. Avoid operating it in environ-ments with direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Avoid operat-ing it in environments with strong temperature fluctuations. If tempera-ture fluctuations cannot be avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the device immediately. Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in operation. In environments with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine, or mist): Have the device cleaned by qualified specialists at regular intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.

General handling

• To prevent damage, never exert force while operating the device.
• Never immerse the device in water. Wipe only with a clean and dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents Keep the device away from impurities!

Keep the device away from containers with liquid. Should liquid enter the device, this could lead to its destruction or fire. Ensure that no metallic parts enter the device.

4. Use outputs 3 – 4 and suitable power supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices that require a supply voltage of 9 V at a maximum of 250 mA.
5. Use outputs 5 – 7 and suitable power supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices that require a supply voltage of 9 V at a maximum of 500 mA. Make absolutely sure that the polarity of the devices you want to connect is identical to the polarity of the supply outputs ( ). Supplying a device with voltage with reverse polarity can damage it!
6. Use outputs 8 – 9 and suitable power supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices that require 9 V , 12 V , or 18 V at a maximum supply voltage of 500 mA, 375 mA or 250 mA. Put the corresponding switch next to the relevant output into the position for the required voltage. The maximum output power of 31.5 W must not be exceeded.
