Please read carefully before use of this product
failure to follow the instructions printed below may void warranty
• 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.
