Precautions (please read before use)

Power supply

*When unplugging the AC adaptor from the outlet, be sure to grasp the adaptor. Attempting to unplug it by pulling on the AC cable may damage the wiring.

*It is dangerous to use any power cable that is cut or frayed. If the power cable is damaged, immediately stop using it, and have it repaired.

*Do not plug in or unplug the AC adaptor with wet hands. Doing so may result in dangerous electric shock.

*Do not open the unit or touch any parts inside. Doing so may result in a dangerous electric shock, and could damage the X-12.

Model X-12 Owner's Manual

*Do not let water or other liquids, flammable materials, or metal objects such as pins get inside the X-12.

These things may cause electrical shock or short circuit the X-12, and damage it.

If the X-12 should become wet, unplug the AC adaptor from the AC outlet, and contact your authorized service station.

*When turning the power on, turn the X-12 on first before turning on any equipment connected to it. Doing so will avoid possible damage to the other equipment.

Also, when connecting or disconnecting cables to or from the X-12’s input or output jacks, make sure that the [LINE OUT/PHONES] volume is set to “0.”

*When the AC adaptor is connected to an AC outlet, it will continue to draw small amounts of power even if the switch is set to off (STANDBY). If you will not be using the X-12 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

Location

*Avoid using the X-12 in the following locations:

*Locations of extreme low or high temperatures, or extreme changes in temperature.

*Locations with excessive moisture or dust.

*Locations where direct sunlight falls for an extended time, or near a stove or other source of heat.

*Locations where electrical voltage varies.

*Unstable locations or where there is heavy vibration.

*Near strong magnetic fields (on top of a television or speaker).
