SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before using Quadrantid Swarm, please follow the instructions for use of the instrument as this will warrant

proper operation of the instrument. Due to the fact that these instructions touch on product liability, we

recommend reading them carefully. Any claim for defect will be rejected if one or more of the topics have not

been observed. Ignoring the instructions can eventually void warranty.

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO NOT OPEN OR MODIFY Quadrantid Swarm.

• REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO

USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

• The instrument may only be operated at the voltage noted on the power input on the rear panel. Before

plugging in Quadrantid Swarm, always check for the correct voltage. Before using Quadrantid Swarm in a

foreign country, check whether the mains voltage is compatible with the unit.

• When Quadrantid Swarm is not in use, disconnect the power supply from the power outlet. This will save

energy (and keep your electric bill within reason).

• Never attempt to repair Quadrantid Swarm on your own. Never open the casing. For technical support,

please get in touch with Eowave.

• The instrument is not to be operated outdoors (never ever!) but in dry, closed rooms only. Never use the

instrument in a moist or wet environment or near flammable materials.

• Do not allow liquids or conductive materials to get into the instrument. If this occurs, the instrument is to be

disconnected from mains power immediately and examined, cleaned, and eventually repaired by a qualified

person (that would be us).

• Never expose the instrument to temperatures above +50 °C or below -10 °C. Before powering up, the

instrument should have a temperature of at least +10 °C. Do not place the instrument in direct sunlight. Do

not install the instrument near heat sources such as radiators, open fire places, or thermo-nuclear testing

sites (or power plants that would employ people like Homer Simpson).

• Keep the top of the instrument clear in order to warrant proper ventilation, otherwise the instrument may

overheat and malfunction.

• Never place heavy objects such as beer crates, trucks, or mothers-in-law on the instrument.

• Before roaming with Quadrantid Swarm, make sure the unit is disconnected from other devices (external

controllers, mixers etc.). If not, watch for cables and other pit-falls. Funny films can be uploaded to the

internet.

• Transport the instrument carefully, never let it drop or be rude to it. Make sure that, during transport and

while in use, the instrument is properly supported (no pizza cartons or king-size buckets of chicken-wings)

and cannot fall or slip from your (possibly greasy) fingers – people might get injured and, even worse, sue

you for this.

• Never use the instrument in the immediate proximity of interfering electronic devices (e.g. computers and

monitors, power supplies, speakers, flux compensators, or hadron colliders) since this might cause

Quadrantid Swarm to behave erratically – and may result in corrupted memory data as well.

• Before cleaning Quadrantid Swarm, make sure the unit has been unplugged.Use a soft, dry cloth only to

clean Quadrantid Swarm. Never use any liquids, abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing solvents such as

alcohol, turpentine, or other spirits (such as cask strength Scotch Single Malt).

• The instrument is to be shipped in the original packaging only. Any instruments shipped to us for return,

exchange, repairs covered under warranty, update or examination must be in their original packaging! Any

other deliveries will be rejected. Therefore, you should keep the original packaging and this user

documentation – if only as a doorstop.

• The instrument may only be used for the purpose described in this operating manual. Due to safety

reasons, the instrument is never to be used for purposes other than musical (e. g. disintegrating neighbours,

bending the space-time continuum, impressing girls etc.).

• When using the instrument in Germany, ACHTUNG: the appropriate VDE standards are to be obeyed. The

following standards are of special and utmost importance: DIN VDE 0100 (Teil 300/11.85, Teil 410/11.83,

Teil 481/10.87), DIN VDE 0532 (Teil 1/03.82), DIN VDE 0550 (Teil 1/12.69), DIN VDE 0551 (05.72), DIN

VDE 0551e (06.75), DIN VDE 0700 (Teil 1/02.81, Teil 207/10.82), DIN VDE 0711 (Teil 500/10.89), DIN VDE

0860 (05.89), DIN VDE 0869 (01.85). VDE papers can be obtained from the VDE-Verlag GmbH, Berlin.

German readers will know where to turn to, all others do not really need to bother.
