CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES

This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a

leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the following

precautions when using batteries.

• Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries

could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.

• When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity

indications (plus/minus (¥/^) orientation), and install

them correctly in the battery compartment as indicated.

Putting them in backward could make the batteries rupture

or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.

• When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals

with insulation tape or something like that to prevent them

from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.

• When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal

instructions indicated on the batteries and the local

disposal laws.

• Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not mix

and use new and old batteries or different types of batteries

together. The batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire,

injury or stains around them.

• Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal

objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, rupture or

other trouble.

• Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them in

fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire,

injury or stains around them.

• If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery

case before inserting new batteries. If the battery fluid gets

in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight. If fluid does enter

an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean water without

rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If

the fluid gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause

skin injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with

clean water and then consult a doctor immediately.

• The unit power should be off when you install and replace

batteries.

• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit

for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing

fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid leaks,

wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment before

inserting new batteries.

• Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the battery

could harm skin or clothing.

Example of connections to an SD-20M

CAUTION

• Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and then connect them correctly.

• Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (or put them into standby).

• Install all connected devices, including this unit, so that they are powered from the same line. When using a power strip or similar

device, be sure to use one that has high current capacity (thick cable) in order to minimize fluctuations in power voltage.

• The phantom power sets two input channels at a time. Do not turn phantom power on when connecting an unbalanced dynamic

mic.

• Do not connect or disconnect mics while phantom power is on. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and

connected equipment.

• Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.

• Set the PHONES knob to its minimum value before changing a phantom power setting. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud

noises from monitoring equipment, and this could damage equipment or harm hearing.

• Reduce the output level of the external audio device if the input sound is distorted even when reducing the input gain level on the

unit.

• When an external audio device with a fixed line output level is connected, level overloads might occur and adjusting the gain level

might not be possible because of loud sound sources, for example. In such cases, use the headphone jack or another level-control-

lable output for connection to the unit.
