Important
Read the following before oper-
ating the AW2816
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 out-
let 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 out-
let.
• 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 replace-
ment. 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 elec-
trical shock hazard.
• Do not apply force to, disassemble, or modify the
I/O card, the PC board of the hard disk, or the con-
nectors on the unit. Otherwise, malfunction, fire,
or electrical shock may result.
iv
Important
• 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.
Cautions
• This unit has ventilation holes at the bottom to pre-
vent 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 dam-
aged 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.
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 environ-
ment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer
about replacing defective components.
