Introduction

Warnings

Connecting to the electricity mains

The 

OkyWeb2 

has an external power supply adapter. Before connecting up, check that the mains voltage in the

place of installation corresponds to voltage stated on the power supply adapter (max. tolerance ±10%).
Check the state of the connection lead at periodic intervals.

About the external supply adaptor

Depending on your country of residence, the unit is supplied with either Australian or European external supply
adaptor.
USA wall plugs have different voltage rating and prongs. If the unit is used in USA, please replace the external
supply adaptor with the following specifications from a good electronics store: 9V DC (+ centr.), 800mA, 7.2W

Switching on and off

When switching on or off, make certain that the audio amplification system is off: this avoids signal peaks,
harmful for the loudspeaker enclosure components and for your hearing.

Initial connection and prevention of interference

In general, it’s always a good rule of thumb to avoid installation too close to radio apparatus, TV, mobile phones,
etc., as these are in fact normally sources of interference.
Also, make certain that the place of installation is not subject to disturbance of an industrial nature, strong RF
interference or breakdowns in the mains supply. If necessary, protect the mains connection with special “mains
filters” (normally found on sale).
For audio connections use quality cables, remembering to periodically check their condition and efficiency.

Connecting to particular models of television.

Even if only in rare cases, with some models of television, when switching on, the 

OkyWeb2 

video signal may not

be immediately synchronized: the audio can be heard, but the image is disturbed.
In this case, just disconnect the 

OkyWeb2

 power supply unit for a few seconds, and then reconnect.

Once it appears again, the image remains steady for the entire period it’s in use.

Compact Flash cards

OkyWeb2

 uses rewritable Compact Flash memory cards to store thousands of backing tracks and other important data.

OkyWeb2

 is compatible with 

<CF> CompactFlash

TM

 specifications and has been successfully tested with a vast

number of Compact Flash cards manufactured by various companies. Nevertheless, 

M-Live

 declines all responsibility

for any faulty operation or loss of data with Compact Flash cards other than those sold with the 

M-Live

 brand.

FORMATTING: In order to be used with 

OkyWeb2

, Compact Flash cards must firstly be appropriately formatted. To

carry out formatting procedure, connect 

OkyWeb2

 to the computer and use the appropriate function of the software

supplied. Alternatively, use 

OkyFlash

 pre-formatted Compact Flash cards, tested and guaranteed by 

M-Live

.

Protection and maintenance

When transporting your 

OkyWeb2

, keep it safe from harm either in its original packaging or in an 

OkyBag

, on

sale at your dealers.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, intense heat sources, particularly damp or dusty environments or rain for
prolonged periods, as this may cause malfunctions, deterioration or even electric shocks.
It is always advisable to protect the unit from dust if it is not used for a long time. Dust deposits can be removed,
however, with a dry cloth or brush: never use alcohol, acetone or solvents.
No further maintenance is required.

In the event of breakdown

All the unit’s controls are external and easily accessible.
In the event of a breakdown, contact:
