Safety Precautions

Do not let your Tracker MT16 become submerged in water, or otherwise get wet.
Do not expose your Tracker MT16 to extremes of temperature, such as in the freezer

or near an open ame. Use only the JamHub provided and approved AC adapter.

Opening the plastic housing will void the warranty, and expose the user to the
possibility of injury and electrical shock.

Electrical Interference

For your safety, the Tracker MT16 has been built with maximum protection against
external interference and the emission of internal electromagnetic radiation.
However, equipment or materials that are highly susceptible to interference or that
are prone to electromagnetic emissions should not be placed near the Tracker MT16
during operation, as it is still possible, though unlikely, for data to become corrupted.
