Operator Safety Summary
•
Read these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Keep these instructions.
Power Source. SymNet™ Audio Matrix
hardware uses a switching power supply
that automatically adjusts to the applied
voltage. Ensure that your AC mains
voltage is somewhere between 100-
240VAC, 50-60Hz.
Grounding. This product is intended to
operate from a power source that does
not apply more than 250V rms between
the power supply conductors or between
either power supply conductor and
ground. A protective ground connection,
by way of the grounding conductor in
the power cord, is essential for safe
operation.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized or gournding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade of the
third prong is provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Fuse. This product contains no user
servicable fuse.
Danger from Loss of Ground. If the
protective ground connection is lost, all
accessible conductive parts, including
knobs and controls that may appear to be
insulated, can render an electric shock.
Proper Power Cord. Use only the
power cord and connector specified for
the product and your operating locale.
Use only a cord that is in good condition.
Protect the power cord from being walked
on or pinched, particularly at the plug,
convenience receptacle, and the point
where the cord exits from the apparatus.
Operating Location. Do not operate
this equipment under any of the following
conditions: explosive atmospheres,
in wet locations, in inclement weather,
improper or unknown AC mains voltage,
or if improperly fused. Do not install near
any heat source such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time. Do not use this apparatus near
water. Do not expose this apparatus
Revision A.04
to dripping or splashing. Place no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
upon this apparatus. Do not block any
ventilation openings.
Stay Out of the Box. To avoid
personal injury (or worse), do not
remove the product covers or panels.
Do not operate the product without the
covers and panels properly installed.
Only use accessories specified by the
manufacturer. Clean only with dry cloth.
User-Serviceable Parts. There are
no user serviceable parts inside the
SymNet™ Audio Matrix. There are no
adjustments or jumpers to set within
the chassis. Settings are stored in non
-volatile ram and no back-up battery
is required. In case of failure, refer all
servicing to the factory. Servicing is
required when the SymNet™ Audio
Matrix has been damaged in any way,
such as when liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
