Unpacking:
There are no special unpacking precautions. However, it is
recommended that you keep the original packing materials
for reuse in the rare event that service is required. If service
is required and the original packing material is not available,
ensure that the unit is adequately protected for shipment
(use a strong box of appropriate size, sufficient
packing/padding material to prevent load shifting or impact
damage) or call QSC's Technical Services Group for
replacement packing material and a carton.
Mounting:
The DCP 300 product can be used in or out of an equipment
rack. Rack mounting is optional. Adhesive rubber feet are
included for non-rack mount installations (table of shelf top
installations). Use the feet to prevent the unit from
scratching or marring the support surface.
