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.

that extreme volumes may damage your hearing
and/or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the
MAIN MIX control and PHONES control in the main
section fully counter-clockwise before you switch
on the unit. Always be careful to set appropriate
volume levels.

+ 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.

+ Never connect the XENYX to the power supply unit
while the latter is connected to the mains! First
connect the console to the power supply unit, then
connect the power supply unit to the mains.
+ Please note that both the power supply unit and
the mixing console heat up considerably during
operation. This is completely normal.
