PRECAUTIONS

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or

even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These

precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Before installing the card in an audio device please check to make sure that the device is compatible with the

card and check possible restrictions regarding the maximum number of Yamaha and third-party expansion

cards that can be simultaneously installed. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with the audio device, and/

or the Yamaha Pro Audio web site at:

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

• Do not install the card in any Yamaha products not speciﬁed by Yamaha for use with the card to avoid pos-

sible electrical shock, ﬁre, or equipment damage.

•Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the card. Do not apply excessive force to card connectors or other

card components. Mishandling of the card may lead to shock, ﬁre hazard, or equipment failure.

• Be sure to disconnect the power cable of the host device before installing the card and connecting/discon-

necting the cables (in order to eliminate shock hazard, undesired noise, and avoid equipment damage).

•Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the host device before installation, and unplug all related cables

(in order to eliminate shock hazard, undesired noise, and avoid equipment damage).

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:

• Be sure to properly ground the host device to prevent electrical shock and/or malfunction.

• Do not touch the metallic leads (pins) of the circuit board when handling the card. The pins are sharp and

may cause hand cuts.

•Wear a pair of heavy gloves during installation to avoid scratching or cutting your hands on sharp edges.

•Avoid touching exposed connectors and metal parts to minimize the possibility of bad connections.

• Drain all static electricity from your clothing and body before handling the card. Static electricity can dam-

age the card. Touch an exposed metal part of the host device or other grounded object beforehand.

• Do not drop the card or subject it to physical shock as this can result in breakage and/or malfunction.

• Do not drop screws or other small parts inside the card. If power is applied while screws or similar metal

objects are loose inside the unit the card may malfunction or be damaged. If you cannot retrieve dropped

objects yourself, refer the problem to qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the device, or

data that is lost or destroyed.
