IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS Read and retain these instructions for future reference. Adhere to all warnings printed here and on the console and its power unit. COVERS Do not remove the power unit cover. Operate the console with its cover correctly fitted. Refer servicing work to authorised personnel only. MAINS POWER Connect the console power unit to a mains power supply only of the type described in this user guide and marked on the unit. The power source must provide a good ground connection. Do not remove or tamper with the ground connection in the power cord. Use the power cord with a sealed mains plug appropriate for your local mains supply as provided with the console. Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on, stretched or pinched by items placed upon or against it. MasterSounds recommends the use of a mains conditioner on all our DJ mixers.

Use audio connectors and plugs only for their intended purpose. VENTILATION Ensure adequate ventilation around the console and its power unit. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots or position the unit where the airflow required for ventilation is impeded.

Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat, and vibration when operating and storing. Avoid tobacco ash, drinks spillage, and smoke, especially that associated with smoke machines. Do not mount the power supply on any surface subject to resonance or vibration. HANDLING To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects on the console surfaces, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough handling and vibration.
