SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
■
LO CATION
To avoid malfunction do not use this un.it in the followi
ng
locations for long
periods of time:
•
In
direct sunlight.
• Exposed
to
extremes of temperature or humidity.
•
In
sandy or dusty places.
■ POWER
SUPPLY
• Use
on
ly with rated
AC
voltage. If you will be using this unit in a country
having a different voltage. be sure
to
obtain the proper transformer
to
convert to rated voltage.
• To
he
lp
prevent noise and degraded sound quality, avoid using t
he
same outlet as other equipment or branching off extension cords shared
by other equipment.
■
INPUT/OUTPUT
JACKS AND CONNECTION CORDS
Be sure to
us
e standard "guitar" cables with phone plugs, such as
the
cable supplied with this instrument, for input and output connections to
the
rear panel of the DW-8000. Never insert any other kind of plug into these
jacks.
■
PREVENTING
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
As a microprocessor based device,
the
DW-8000
is
extremely flexible 1in
operation, yet may possibly perform erratically
if
exposed
to
electrical in-
terference from other electrical devices and lluoresoent lamps. Avoid oper-
ating the DW-8000 near possible sources of interference.
If
somethi
ng
seems to be wrong, try turning off
th
e power, waiting about ten seconds,
then !urni
ng
it back on. This resets the computer circuits to their initial
state so performance should return to
no
rmal.
■
HANDLE
GENTLY
Knobs and switches are designed to provide positive operation with a li
ght
touch.
Excessive
force
may
cause
damage.
■
