DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,

heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including

amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades

with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug

has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide

blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If

the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult

an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,

and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving

the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from

tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug

is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been

dropped.

15) CAUTION - These service instructions are for use by

qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of

electric shock do not perform any servicing other than

that contained in the operation instructions unless you

are qualified to do so.

+ Never connect the XENYX to the power supply unit

when the latter is connected to the mains! First

connect the power supply unit to the console, then

connect the power supply unit to the mains.

+ Please note that all units must be properly

grounded. For your own safety, you should never

remove any ground connectors from electrical

devices or power cables, or render them in-

operative.

+ Please ensure that only qualified people install and

operate the mixing console. During installation and

operation, the user must have sufficient electrical

contact to earth, otherwise electrostatic discharges

might affect the operation of the unit.

+ If you are recording a signal via the CD/TAPE OUTPUT

and wish to listen to this simultaneously via the

CD/TAPE INPUT, do not use the CD/TAPE TO MIX

switch. Doing this would create a feedback loop,

since the signal would be routed, via the main mix,

back to tape via the CD/TAPE OUTPUT. To monitor

the CD/TAPE INPUT, use the CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM

switch to assign the tape signal to the monitor(s)

or headphones. This will avoid the tape signal being

routed to the CD/TAPE OUTPUT.
