IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
To avoid risk of electric shock, injury or death, it is recommended to never
attempt to self-service a Flock Audio PATCH XT System. There are no self
repairable or removable parts in the system. If your Flock Audio PATCH XT
System requires repairs, please contact our support centre to arrange for a
Flock Audio Certified Repair Technician. (www.flockaudio.com/support)
#1. Do Not Self-Service
To avoid risk of damage to your PATCH XT System, avoid having liquids &/
or spills near your PATCH XT System. If accidental spill occurs, safely shut
off your PATCH XT System using the front power button, unplug the wall
outlet and disconnect IEC power cable from the system. Once completed
please contact Flock Audio Support to arrange for a Certified Repair
Technician to remove and repair if required.
#2. Avoid Liquid &/or Spills
Proper mount spacing and rack mount ventilation is required to ensure your
Flock Audio PATCH XT System does not overheat. It is recommended that
the rear of the rack is open for proper ventilation and that the user DOES
NOT mount the PATCH XT System above any tube related audio
equipment. If necessary, there should be a 1/2 - 1U Rack Space between
the PATCH System and any warm or tube related audio equipment to avoid
unexpected shutdowns or internal damage.
#4. Proper Rack mount Ventilation Requirements
It is recommended that you always use a properly shielded and grounded
IEC Power Cable (110V/220V) with your PATCH XT System. The Chassis is
designed to work with the earth ground inside the box for both a safe &
quiet audio operation. Never remove or use a IEC cable accessory without
the grounding pin.
#5. Use Properly Grounded IEC Power Cables
Although no damage or immediate danger will occur if 48V Phantom Power
is engaged on a Preamp connected to the Input of the PATCH XT System, it
is not recommended to leave that 48V source active for a lengthly period of
time.
#6. External 48V Phantom Power (I.E. Connected Preamp)
Never use your Flock Audio PATCH XT System during any electrical or
dangerous lightning storms. Calmly shutdown your System, Unplug the IEC
power cable from the wall outlet or power conditioner until it is safe to
continue use. It’s also recommended to keep the system unplugged if not in
use for long extended periods of time.
#7. Discontinue Use During Electrical Storms

#3. Shutting Down Your PATCH XT
To properly shut down your PATCH XT Hardware, it is always recommended
that you first put your PATCH XT to sleep by pressing the Sleep/Wake
button on the front panel, and then toggle the white large switch on the
rear panel to "O". The lifespan of your PATCH XT will not be affected if you
choose to sleep the unit instead of shutting it down during regular studio
usage.
