8. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and ensure that no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the apparatus.
15. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power
supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.
16. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.
17. The Octane/QMD-X, MD-X, QMD, and MD (Live Production Engine) chassis is to be
rack mounted only.
Warning 18. Indoor Use: WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture.
19. The safe operation of this product requires that a protective earth connection be
provided. A grounding conductor in the equipment's supply cord provides this protective
earth. To reduce the risk of electrical shock to the operator and service personnel, this
ground conductor must be connected to an earthed ground.
20. WAR NI NG: This apparatus, when equipped with multiple power supplies, can generate
high leakage currents. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure that each individual
supply cord is connected to its own separate branch circuit with an earth connection.
21. CAUTION: These service instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that
contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so (Engineering
Manual only).
Caution 22. These apparatus contain Lithium batteries, which if replaced incorrectly, or with an
incorrect type, may cause an explosion. Replace only with the same type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
23. Service barriers within this product are intended to protect the operator and service
personnel from hazardous voltages. For continued safety, replace all barriers after
servicing.
24. Certain parts of this equipment still present a safety hazard with the power switch in the
OFF position. To avoid electrical shock, disconnect all A/C power cords from the
chassis' rear appliance connectors before servicing.
25. This product contains safety critical parts, which, if incorrectly replaced, may present a
risk of fire or electrical shock. Components contained within the product’s power
supplies and power supply area are not intended to be customer-serviced and should be
returned to the factory for repair.
