   The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral 
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure, that may be 
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

   Le symbole éclair avec point de flèche à l'intérieur d'un triangle 
équilatéral est utilisé pour alerter l'utilisateur de la présence à 
l'intérieur du coffret de "voltage dangereux" non isolé d'ampleur 
suffisante pour constituer un risque d'éléctrocution.

   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 appliance.

   Le point d'exclamation à l'intérieur d'un triangle équilatéral est 
employé pour alerter les utilisateurs de la présence d'instructions 
importantes pour le fonctionnement et l'entretien (service) dans le 
livret d'instruction accompagnant l'appareil.

A.

 The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B.

 Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into this Mackie product; or

C.

 This Mackie product has been exposed to rain; or

D.

 This Mackie product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits

a marked change in performance; or

E.

 This Mackie product has been dropped, or its chassis damaged.

13.

 Servicing — The user should not attempt to service this Mackie product

beyond those means described in this operating manual. All other servicing
should be referred to the Mackie Service Department.

14.

 To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an

extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully
inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Pour prévenir les chocs électriques ne pas utiliser cette fiche polariseé avec un
prolongateur, un prise de courant ou une autre sortie de courant, sauf si les
lames peuvent être insérées à fond sans laisser aucune pariie à découvert.

15.

 Grounding or Polarization — Precautions should be taken so that the

grounding or polarization means of this Mackie product is not defeated.

16.

 Power Precaution — Unplug this Mackie product during lightning storms

or when unused for long periods of time. Note that this Mackie product is
not completely disconnected from the AC mains service when the power
switch is in the OFF position.

17.

 This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is

applicable) limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the
radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

ATTENTION —Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits
radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils numériques de
class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage
radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des communications du Canada.

18.

  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) has specified the permissible noise level exposures
shown in the following chart.

According to OSHA, 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 equip-
ment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors
while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or
over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent a
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here.
