PRODUCT SAFETY
This product is manufactured with the highest standards and is double checked
in our quality control department for reliability in the "HIGH VOLTAGE" section.
CAUTION
Never remove any panels, or open this equipment. No user serviceable parts
inside.
Equipment power supply must be grounded at all times.
Only use this product as described, in user manual or brochure.
Do not operate this equipment in high humidity or expose it to water or other
liquids.
Check the AC power supply cable to assure secure contact.
Have your equipment checked yearly by a qualified dealer service center.
Hazardous electrical shock can be avoided by carefully following the above
rules.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
Especially in sound equipment on stage the following information is essential to know.
An electrical shock is caused by voltage and current, actually it is the current that causes the
shock.
In practice the higher the voltage the higher the current will be and the higher the shock.
But there is another thing to consider and it is resistance.
When the resistance in Ohms is high between two poles, the current will be low and vice versa.
All three of these; voltage, current. and resistance are important in determining the effect of an
electrical shock.
However, the severity of a shock primarily determined by the amount of current flowing through
a person.
A person can feel a shock because the muscles in a body respond to electrical current and
because the heart is a muscle it can affect, when the current is high enough.
Current can also be fatal when it causes the chest muscles to contract and stop breathing. At
what potential is current dangerous.
Well the first feeling of current is a tingle at 0.001 Amp of current.
The current between 0.1 Amp and 0.2 Amp is fatal.
Imagine that your home fuses of 20 Amp can handle 200 times more current than is necessary to
kill. How does resistance affect the shock a person feels.
A typical resistance between one hand to the other in "dry" condition could well over
100,000 Ohm.
If you are playing on stage your body is perspiring extensively and your body resistance is
lowered by more than 50%. This is a situation in which current can easily
flow.
