PROTECTING YOURSELF AND THE Z4/Z8
• Never touch the AC plug with wet hands.
• Always disconnect the Z4/Z8 from the power supply by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
• Allow only an AKAI professional dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or reas-
semble the Z4/Z8. Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers might touch live
internal parts and receive a serious electrical shock. There are no user serviceable parts in-
side.
• Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects, into the Z4/Z8.
• Use only a household AC power supply. Never use a DC power supply.
• If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the Z4/Z8, disconnect the power, and call your
dealer.
• Make sure that the unit is well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight.
• To avoid damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the Z4/Z8 away from
sources of direct heat (stoves, radiators, etc.).
• Avoid using aerosol insecticides, etc. near the Z4/Z8. They may damage the surface, and may
ignite.
• Do not use denatured alcohol, thinner or similar chemicals to clean the Z4/Z8. They will dam-
age the finish.
• Modification of this equipment is dangerous, and can result in the functions of the Z4/Z8 being
impaired. Never attempt to modify the equipment in any way.
• Make sure that the Z4/Z8 is always well-supported when in use (either in a specially-designed
equipment rack, or on a firm level surface).
• When installing the Z4/Z8 in a 19" rack system, always allow 1U of ventilated free space above
it to allow for cooling. Make sure that the back of the rack is unobstructed to allow a clear
airflow.
• In order to assure optimum performance of your Z4/Z8, select the setup location carefully, and
make sure the equipment is used properly. Avoid setting up the Z4/Z8 in the following locations:
1. In a humid or dusty environment
2. In a room with poor ventilation
3. On a surface which is not horizontal
4. Inside a vehicle such as a car, where it will be subject to vibration
5. In an extremely hot or cold environment
