IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION

SAFETY FIRST!
Safety is of major importance when operating any electrical equipment, so
please note the following:
On a product, a lightning flash within a triangle indicates the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product enclosure. This may be of
sufficient magnitude to cause risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This information applies to all models and power supplies of the ARTHUR series:
Before connecting your mixer to the mains, make sure that the mains voltage does not exceed the voltage
specified on the mixer/power supply.
Do not use your mixer if its power supply, cable or plug are not in perfect condition. Replace these as
necessary, using the exact models/types specified. If any fixed cables need replacing, this should be done
by a suitably qualified professional.
Your mixer should only be connected to a mains socket with a ground protection system.
When setting up or installing your mixer, make sure that the mains socket and the power supply’s mains
cable and plug are easily accessible.
Do not, under any circumstances, defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade and third prong are provided for your safety. If the supplied plug
does not fit your mains socket, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete socket.
Do not expose your mixer to rain or any other water (even in small amounts). Do not use the mixer near
water.
Avoid spilling drinks or any other liquids on the mixer.
Do not operate your mixer in excessively humid conditions. Avoid excessive heat from sunshine, fire or
similar. If your mixer is being used in a dusty environment, make sure it is adequately protected.
Avoid installing your mixer near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat-
producing apparatus (including amplifiers).
Do not put any sources of open flame (e.g. candles or pyrotechnics) on or near your mixer.
Do not cover your mixer during use, or obstruct the ventilation flow in any way.
Unplug your mixer during lightning storms, or if it is not going to be used for a while. (Remove the plug from
the mains socket to completely disconnect the mixer.)
Your mixer does not contain any “user serviceable” parts. Servicing and/or repairs should only be carried
out by qualified personnel. See MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR (below).
