2.D Precautionary measures, safety and warnings

Read this section carefully in order to use the control surface safely.

1.

Never connect a receiver (camera) that has its own phantom power activated: this
would destroy the output to which it has been connected. Switch the phantom power
off, or if this is not possible, go through an external device first (isolation transformer,
intermediate pre-amp, etc…).

2.

Only the swapping of presumably defective modules is advised, and made possible by

the modular philosophy of the control surface.

ANY SWAPPING OF MODULES MUST BE DONE WITH THE CONSOLE SWITCHED
OFF.

3.

Do not store or use the console in extreme temperature conditions, or in an

environment where it might be exposed to vibrations, dust or humidity.

4.

Never use any liquid to clean the surface of the console (ideally, use a soft and dry

cloth). Only use water or ethylic alcohol to clean the casing and silk-screen printed
surfaces; other solvents could damage the paint or plastic parts.

5.

Do not place the audio racks, local or remote, or the console itself, too close to strong

electromagnetic radiation sources (video monitors, high-voltage cables, …), as this might
cause a degradation of audio quality via induced currents in the connections and frame.
