CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the devices is not to be used for extend periods of time, or during electrical storms.
When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Location
When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.
Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
Do not use the device in a confined, poorly ventilated location. Make sure that there is adequate space between the mixer and surrounding walls or other devices: at least 1’ ft. at the side, 1’ ft. behind and 1’ ft. above. If the mixer is to be used installed into the speaker cabinet, make sure to allow adequate space between the speaker and the surrounding walls or other devices: at least 1’ ft. at the sides, 1’ ft. behind and 1’ ft. above. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended installation. Doing so could result in damage or personal injury.
Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers.
Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
Do not block the vents. This mixer has ventilation holes at the top to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the device LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the device should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, ports, etc.).
Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, ports, etc.). If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified service personnel.

Interference From Cell Phone
Using a cell phone near the speaker system can induce noise. If this occurs, move the cell phone further away from the speaker system. Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal, and often occurs when the speaker is handing program material with heavy bass content.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage caused by improper use or modification to the device.
Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified service personnel about replacing defective parts.
