Special notes for touch-sensitive faders

The usual rules regarding precision electronic equip- ment naturally apply to the DM-3200. In addition, note the following that apply to the touch-sensitive faders:

The faders need a human finger to operate their touch-sensitivity. Do not use a pencil, ruler, etc. to operate them. Even using your fingernails may not activate the touch-sensitivity.

The humidity and temperature of your environment affects the touch-sensitivity of the faders. Under normal working conditions you should experience no issues. However, extremes of temperature and/ or humidity may sometimes cause operational problems.
