Do not spill any liquids on the equipment.
Do not place any containers containing liquid on the device or the power pack.
The equipment must only be used in dry rooms.
The equipment must only be opened, serviced, and repaired by authorised personnel. The
equipment contains no user-serviceable parts.
Before connecting the equipment to power, check that the AC mains voltage stated on the
supplied AC adapter is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will use the
equipment.
Only operate the equipment with the supplied AC adapter with a 12-VDC output. Using
adapters with a different output voltage or current type may cause serious damage to the
unit.
If any solid object or liquid should get into the equipment, shut down the system
immediately. Disconnect the AC adapter from the power outlet at once and have the
equipment checked by our customer service department.
If the equipment is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from
the power outlet. Please note that if you turn the equipment off while leaving the AC
adapter plugged in, it is not fully isolated from the power supply.
Do not place the equipment near heat sources such as radiators, heating ducts, amplifiers,
etc. and do not expose it to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain, mechanical
vibrations, or shock.
To avoid hum or interference, route all audio lines, particularly those connected to the
microphone inputs, away from power lines of any type. If you use cable ducts, be sure to
use separate ducts for the audio lines.
Clean the equipment with a moistened (not wet) cloth only. Be sure to disconnect the AC
adapter from the power outlet before cleaning the equipment. Never use caustic or
scouring cleaners or cleaning products containing alcohol or solvents since these may
damage the enamel and plastic parts.
Only use the equipment for the applications described in this manual. AKG cannot accept
any liability for damages resulting from improper handling or misuse.
The power supply unit consumes a small amount of electricity even when the unit is
switched off. To save energy, unplug the power supply unit from the socket if you are not
going to be using the unit for some time.
The packaging is recyclable. Dispose of the packaging in an appropriate recycling
collection system.
If you scrap the unit, separate the case, electronics and cables and dispose of all the
components in accordance with the appropriate waste disposal regulations.
