About power supply
•Be sure to connect the LM16 to the power supply specified in the specifications section of this owner’s manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.
•Do not connect the LM16 to the same AC outlet to which devices that could generate noise (such as a large motor or dimmer), or the devices that consume a large amount of power (such as an air conditioning system or large electric heater) are connected.
•If you use the LM16 in an area with a different power voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station. You can use the LM16 with a power frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
•It is very dangerous to use a power cord that is frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the LM16 immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord.
•To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the LM16, avoid contact with water or other liquids, or do not handle the power plug while your hands are wet.
•To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the LM16, do not remove the main unit cover or reach the inside the LM16.
•Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the LM16 because this may lead to electric shock or damage.
Should water enter the inside of the LM16, remove the power plug from AC outlet, and consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station.
•To prevent damage to the LM16, be sure to power on the connected devices first, then turn on the power to the LM16.
