Precautions - Yamaha EMX3500 Operation Manual

PRECAUTIONS

Please keep the following points in mind when installing and operating your Yamaha EMX3500 Powered Mixer. Also be sure
to read the precautions in the Operating Tips section before using the EMX3500.
• AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST, AND VIBRATION
Keep the EMX3500 away from locations (such as near radiators, stoves, etc.) where it is likely to be exposed to high
temperatures or humidity. Also avoid locations where the mixer may be exposed to excessive dust accumulation or
vibration that could cause mechanical damage.
• INSTALL IN A WELL-VENTILATED LOCATION
The internal circuitry of the EMX3500 produces heat that can become a potential fire hazard if not properly ventilated.
When setting up the EMX3500 for operation, be sure to leave at least 10 cm between it and any adjacent walls or sur-
rounding equipment.
• AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS
Do not drop the EMX3500 or subject it other strong physical shocks, as doing so can damage the it. Handle the mixer with
care, and transport it in a suitable hard case or flight case.
• DO NOT OPEN THE UNIT OR ATTEMPT REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF
The EMX3500 contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all maintenance and repairs to qualified Yamaha service person-
nel. Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry will void the warranty.
• MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE MAKING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS
Always turn the power OFF before connecting or disconnecting cables. If you insert or remove cables with the power on,
you run the risk of damaging both the mixer and any connected equipment.
• HANDLE CABLES CAREFULLY
Always plug and unplug cables (including the AC power cable) by gripping the connector, not the cord itself.
• CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the EMX3500. Should the mixer become dirty, wipe it clean with a
soft, dry cloth.
• ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT POWER SOURCE
Make sure that the power requirements on the rear panel of the EMX3500 match your local AC mains supply.
• KEEP SPEAKER PLUGS CLEAN
Solid phone plugs can overheat when inserted in the rear-panel SPEAKER jacks of the EMX3500, causing a potential fire
hazard. Make a habit of checking the metal tips of your speaker plugs, and cleaning them if necessary, before connecting
them to the EMX3500.
