S-4000 Digital Snake Owner’s Manual 7
In addition to the items listed under IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Page 2) and USING THE
UNIT SAFELY (Page 3), please read and observe the
following:
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet
that is being used by an electrical appliance that
is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator,
washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending
on the way in which the electrical appliance is
used, power supply noise may cause this unit to
malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it
is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet,
connect a power supply noise filter between this
unit and the electrical outlet.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn
off the power to all units. This will help prevent
malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other
devices.
• Although the LEDs are switched off when the
POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean
that the unit has been completely disconnected
from the source of power. If you need to turn off the
power completely, first turn off the POWER switch,
then unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to
connect the power cord’s plug should be one that
is within easy reach and readily accessible.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change
the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the
vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when
receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at a
greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
• When moved from one location to another where
the temperature and/or humidity is very different,
water droplets (condensation) may form inside
the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you
attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore,
before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has completely
evaporated.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft,
dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened
with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly
with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp
the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This
way, you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to
the cable’s internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels (especially when
it is late at night).
