4 EUROPOWER PMP1680S/PMP980S/PMP960M User Manual 1. Before you get Started 1.1 Shipment Your PMP mixer was carefully packed at the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage which may have occurred during transit. ◊ If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. ◊ We recommend that you use a flight case, so as to give your power mixer optimum protection during use or transport. ◊ Always use the original packing carton to prevent damage during storage or transport. ◊ Make sure that children cannot play unsupervised with the device or its packaging. ◊ Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials. 1.2 Initial operation Be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for cooling and, to avoid overheating, please do not place the EUROPOWER near radiators, etc. ◊ Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating! Please refer to the "Specifications" for details. The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements. ◊ Please make sure that all units have proper ground connection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor from the unit or on the AC power cord. ◊ Important notes concerning installation: The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections. 1.3 Online registration Please register your new BEHRINGER equipment right after your purchase by visiting http://behringer.com and read the terms and conditions of our warranty carefully.
