Yamaha AW2816 Owner's Manual - Page 4

Important Important Read the following before operating the AW2816 s Warnings • Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result. • Connect this unit's power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet. • To avoid possible electrical shock, do not install an I/O card, hard disk, or CD-RW drive in the unit while the power cable is connected to the AC outlet. • Use the ground connector on the rear panel to securely ground the device. If the device is not grounded, you may suffer a dangerous electrical shock. • If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit without heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may result. • If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not apply force to, disassemble, or modify the I/O card, the PC board of the hard disk, or the connectors on the unit. Otherwise, malfunction, fire, or electrical shock may result. • If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of the unit as soon as possible, and unplug the power cable plug from the electrical outlet. • If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may be an electrical shock hazard. s Cautions • This unit has ventilation holes at the bottom to prevent the internal temperature rising too high. Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a fire hazard. • Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard. • Always touch a well-grounded metal surface or the like to fully discharge any static electric charge on your body and clothing before handling an I/O card or hard disk. Neglecting this precaution can cause damage to the unit from static electricity. • Be careful not to touch the leads (metal feet) on the rear side when handling an I/O card or hard disk. Touching the leads can cause contact defects. • Use only the included power supply cable for this unit. Using other types may be a fire hazard. s Operating Notes • The digital circuits of this unit may induce a slight noise into nearby radios and TVs. If noise occurs, relocate the affected equipment. • Using a mobile telephone near this unit may induce noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone away from the unit. • XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-). • Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve: ground, tip: send, and ring: return. • If the message "LOW BATTERY" appears when you turn on this unit, contact your dealer as soon as possible about replacing the internal data backup battery. We recommend that you save the data on CD-RW drive or external SCSI device before replacing the battery. • The performance of components with moving contacts, such switches, rotary controls, faders, and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of deterioration depends on the operating environment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer about replacing defective components. iv
