1. Before You Get Started

1.1 Shipment

Your XENYX was carefully packed at the factory, and the packaging was designed

to protect the unit from damage caused by rough handling. Nevertheless,

we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for

any signs of physical damage that may have occurred during transit.

◊

If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us; instead,
notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately,
otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.

◊

We recommend using a case to ensure optimal protection of the device.

◊

Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to
storage or shipping.

◊

Never let unsupervised children play with the XENYX or with
its packaging.

◊

Recycle whenever possible.

1.2 Initial operation

Ensure adequate air supply, and to avoid overheating do not place the unit near

radiators etc.

◊

Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating!
Please refer to the “Specifications” for details.

Caution

◊

Before changing the fuse, switch off the device and pull the plug to
avoid electric shock or damage to the device.

The power connection is made by using the enclosed cable and the

amplifier’s standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international safety

certification requirements.

◊

Please make sure that all units have a proper earth connection.
For your own safety, never remove or disable the earth conductor from
the unit or of the AC power cord. The unit must always be connected to
the mains outlet with a protective grounding connection.

Extreme output volumes may damage your hearing and/or your
loudspeakers. Turn down all volume and level controls before you
switch on the unit. Always set the volume to an appropriate level.

Important notes concerning installation

◊

The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful
broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the
distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded
cables for all connections.
