1.3 Caring For Your Atom
The Atom is manufactured from quality components and will give many years of service if you take some
basic precautions.
•
Do not allow any liquids or foreign objects to enter the Atom. If any liquids are spilt onto the Atom
,
the
inside should be cleaned and dried as soon as possible. Only suitably qualified personnel should remove
the covers and perform any such maintenance.
•
Do not apply excessive force to any of the controls. Spare parts and service are available from your LSC
agent, but prevention is better than cure.
•
When connecting any devices to the Atom, make sure that all connections are correct before switching on
the power. If any doubt exists, obtain the assistance of qualified personnel.
•
If your Atom is to be used "on the road", you should use a flight case to protect the desk. Transport the
Atom with all faders in the fully down position. This gives the faders maximum protection from damage.
•
The Atom contains a replaceable lithium battery.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.
1.4 Labeling Your Atom
Areas are provided below the faders for you to write identifying labels. To prevent permanent marking of your
Atom, LSC recommends that you write place strips of “write on” tape in these areas.
