   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.

7.

 Heat — Locate the DX810 away from heat sources such as radiators, or other

devices which produce heat.

8.

 Power Sources — Connect the DX810 to a power supply only of the type described

in these operation instructions or as marked on the rear panel. If using an external DC
power supply or battery pack, be sure the voltage corresponds to the range indicated on
the rear panel, and that it is connected with the correct polarity.

9.

 Power Cord Protection — Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be

walked upon or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the DX810.

10.

 Object and Liquid Entry — Do not drop objects into or spill liquids into the inside

of the DX810.

11.

 Damage Requiring Service — The DX810 should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel when:

A.

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

B.

 Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the DX810; or

C.

 The DX810 has been exposed to rain; or

D.

 The DX810 does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked

change in performance; or

E.

 The DX810 has been dropped, or its chassis damaged.

12.

 Servicing — The user should not attempt to service the DX810 beyond those

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

13.

 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.

14.

 Grounding or Polarization — Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or

polarization means of the DX-810 is not defeated.

15.

 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.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.

 Read Instructions — Read all the safety and operation instructions before

operating the DX810.

2.

 Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instructions should be kept for

future reference.

3.

 HEED ALL WARNINGS — Follow all warnings on the DX810 and in these operating

instructions.

shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

CAUTION 

— Internal lithium battery.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
