read carefully.

SYMBOLS:

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove covers. No user-serviceable parts inside. Please

refer servicing to qualified personnel.

•To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.

•Do not impose unnecessary stress on your equipment (i.e. placing heavy objects on it, over screwing its

mounting, etc).

•Read and keep the instruction manuals in a safe place for future references.

•Do not attempt to clean the equipment with chemical solvents as this may damage the finish. Clean only

with a dry cloth.

•Do not block any ventilation openings.

•Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that

produce heat.

•Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with

one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide

blade or the grounding prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.

•Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,

and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when it is not in use for a long period of time.

NOTES

WARNING

Contain important information and use

useful tips for headphones outputs and monitoring

levels.

•Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

•Always shut down power supply when not in use to save energy and for a prolonged lifespan.

•Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary

considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if

exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety

and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Singapore Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC)

has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to OSHA

and WSHC, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To

ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all

persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors

while the equipment is in operation. Earplugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be

worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess

of the limits set forth here:
