4.  Follow all instructions.

5.  Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.  Clean only with dry cloth.

9.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of 

the polarized or grounding-type plug. 
A polarized plug has two blades with

walked on or pinched particularly at 
plugs, convenience receptacles, and 
the point where they exit from the 
apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories 

specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, 

stand, tripod, bracket, 
or table specified by 
the manufacturer, or 
sold with the apparatus. 
When a cart is used, use caution 
when moving the cart/apparatus com-
bination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during light-

ning storms or when unused for long 
periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service 

personnel. Servicing is required when 
the apparatus has been damaged in 
any way, such as power-supply cord 
or plug cord is damaged, liquid has 
been spilled or objects have fallen 
into the apparatus, the apparatus has 
been exposed to rain or moisture, 
does not operate normally, or has 
been dropped.

RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE

No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

CAUTION

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE

DO NOT OPEN

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

The lightning flash with arrowhead 
symbol within an equilateral triangle is 
intended to alert the user of the pres-
ence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” 
within the product’s enclosure that may 
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute 
a risk of electric shock to persons. The 
exclamation point within an equilateral 
triangle is intended to alert the user of 
the presence of important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions in 
the literature accompanying the product 
(i.e. this Quick Start Guide).

CAUTION

   To prevent electric shock, 

do not use the polarized plug supplied 
with the unit with any extension cord, 
receptacle, or  other outlet unless the 
prongs can be fully inserted.

Power Source.

   AirTools Ulysses 

hardware uses a switching power supply 
that automatically adjusts to the applied 
voltage. Ensure that your AC mains 
voltage is somewhere between 100-240 
VAC, 50-60 Hz. Use only the power cord 
and connector specified for the product 
and your operating locale. A protec-
tive ground connection, by way of the 
grounding conductor in the power cord, 
is essential for safe operation.

User Serviceable Parts.

   There 

are no user serviceable parts inside 
the AirTools Ulysses. In case of failure, 
customers inside the U.S. should refer 
all servicing to the Symetrix factory. 
Customers outside the U.S. should 
refer all servicing to an authorized 
AirTools distributor. Distributor con-
tact information is available online at 
www.airtoolsaudio.com.
