• Follow all security advice printed on your mixer

• When removing the unit's AC plug from the power source, grasp and pull the
plug, NEVER the cord itself!

• Avoid placing your mixer near heat sources, such as power amplifiers.

• When in use, place your mixer on a stable surface, away from vibration. Always
use care when carrying your mixer. Impact, or heavy vibration may compromise
the unit's mechanical integrity. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage
resulting from an impact, or misuse.

• When in use, place your mixer away from sources of hum or noise, such as
transformers, or electric motors.

• To prevent overheating, always provide your mixer with adequate ventilation
air space.

• Avoid stepping on your mixer's AC cord. Repeated compression of the cord
may lead to electrical shorting.

• To avoid damage due to AC voltage peaks, always disconnect your mixer from
the power source during electrical storms.

• Your mixer contains no user-serviceable parts. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage or personal injury resulting from unauthorized
user-servicing or modifications. In addition, the warranty will be void if any
unauthorized service by the user is detected. Always return you mixer to an
authorized Stanton dealer for servicing.

Your SK FIVE comes with a special PROTEKT™ aluminum panel designed to
make the surface of the mixer is as smooth as possible while still enabling you
to field-replace key components. The PROTEKT™ panel covers all screws that
may get in the way of your performance. You can still easily remove the front
panel to replace any of the modular parts which are subject to wear and tear:
crossfader, input faders and input toggle switches.
