First Things First

Before using your new equipment, there are a few
things you should do and know:

outlets supply the correct voltage for the AC adapter.
Note: Be certain you have selected the correct voltage
setting on the rear panel switch before using device.
(See “Rear Panel Operations and Functions” on page 4
and refer to item number 5.)

disconnect the power plug from the wall (as well as
the back of the receiver).

Care and Cleaning

Please make sure the power is disconnected before
cleaning the KM-112 unit. It, as well as the micro­phone, can be cleaned by using a soft cloth damp­ened with warm water. Dry the machine with a dry
cloth and let it air dry for 15 minutes. Please do not
use volatile gasoline or other chemicals to clean the
receiver or microphone.

Avoid Moisture, Water and Dust

• Do not place the mixer in a moist environment
or in an area where there might be an excessive
amount of dust build up (e.g., near a fan).

• If water or any liquid should get into the unit, turn
o the power and unplug the unit from the wall
outlet immediately. Consult your dealer or an au­thorized repair station. Using the unit in this state
may lead to re or electrical shock.

Avoid High Temperatures

• Do not expose the KM-112 to direct sunlight or
set near any heating device.

Notes on Installation

• Select a place where the unit will be level, dry and
neither too cold nor hot.

• Do not use unit on its side or where it will be sub­ject to vibrations (e.g., near speakers).

• Leave sucient distance between the TV and unit.

• Do not leave heavy objects on top of unit.

Preventing Malfunctions of the Unit

• No parts in this unit are user-serviceable. If the
unit no longer functions, unplug the unit from
the wall outlet and contact your dealer for service
options.
