Please be sure to make all connections before you plug the mixer in. Be sure the power switch is in
the “OFF” position before connecting other devices to the mixer. All fader and volume controls should
be set to 0 or minimum position, before the device is switched on. If the device has been exposed to
drastic temperature  uctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch on the mixer immediately. The
arising condensation of water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has
reached room temperature.
Operating Determinations:
When installing this mixer, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat,
moisture or dust!
There should not be any cables lying around. Doing so endangers you as well as others.
Do not operate the mixer in extremely hot (more than 30° / 100°F) or extremely cold (less than
5°C/40°F) surroundings.
Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.
Operate the mixer only after becoming familiar with its functions. Do not permit operation by per-
