may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.

always make sure to turn off the power on all your
equipment before you make any connections.
• When using the optional AC adaptor, the DUO-
CAPTURE EX will automatically be switched off after
10 consecutive hours of no communication with the
computer. After the power is automatically switched
off, turn the power off and then on if you want to use
the DUO-CAPTURE EX again.
