U-CONTROL UMX610/UMX490 User Manual

1. Before you get Started

1.1 Shipment

The U-CONTROL was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure
transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may
have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical
indications of damage.
◊
Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform
the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as
the transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit.
Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
◊
To assure optimal protection of your UMX during transport,
we recommend utilizing a carrying case.
◊
Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to
storage or shipping.
◊
Never let unsupervised children play with the device or with
its packaging.
◊
Please dispose of all packaging materials in an
environment-friendly fashion.

1.2 Initial operation and power supply

Please make sure that the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never
place the UMX on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk
of overheating.
The power supply can be realized in different ways depending on the main
application area. For the installation of the UMX in a studio environment, it is
possible to connect the device directly to a free USB port of the computer using
the USB cable provided (see Fig. 1.1).
In case it is not possible to establish the power supply over USB (e.g. because of
an overload of the host computer due to several USB devices connected), it is also
possible to operate the UMX with three 1.5-Volt batteries (type "AA", see Fig. 1.2).

Fig. 1.2: The battery compartment on the bottom side of the UMX.
Open the battery compartment by pressing the shutter clamp carefully in
the direction of the battery compartment, while pulling the cover of the
compartment upwards.
• Please note the following points when inserting the batteries:
• The +symbol of the batteries must coincide with the + symbol of the
compartment! Incorrect polarity will damage the electronics!
• Do not mix old and new batteries! When you change the batteries,
always change all 3 batteries at the same time.
•
Do not use damaged batteries. The UMX could be damaged due to the
leakage of chemicals.
• If you do not use the unit for an extended period of time, please remove the
batteries from the compartment. Here again, the batteries could leak and
damage the device.
After inserting the batteries, please close the battery compartment and make
sure the shutter clamp snaps into place again. If you neither want to connect
the power supply over USB nor operate the device with batteries, there is yet
another possibility to connect the UMX over an external power supply unit.
Please observe the correct operational data (DC 9 V; 100 mA) and correct polarity
of the connector plug; you will find information about this above the DC input on
the rear of the unit. Reverse polarity can damage the electronics.
