WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious
injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or
other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Before installing the card in an audio device please check to make sure that
the device is compatible with the card and check possible restrictions
regarding the maximum number of Yamaha and third-party expansion cards
that can be simultaneously installed. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with
the audio device, and/or the Yamaha Pro Audio web site at
www.yamahaproaudio.com.
• Do not install the card in any Yamaha products not specified by Yamaha for
use with the card to avoid possible electrical shock, fire, or equipment damage.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the card. Do not apply excessive force
to card connectors or other card components.
• Mishandling of the card may lead to shock, fire hazard, or equipment failure.
• Be sure to disconnect the power cable of the host device before installing the
card and connecting/disconnecting the cables (in order to eliminate shock
hazard, undesired noise, and avoid equipment damage.)
• Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the host device before installation,
and unplug all related cables.
• Be sure to properly ground the host device to prevent electrical shock
and/or malfunction.
• Do not touch the metallic leads (pins) of the circuit board when handling the card.
• Wear a pair of heavy gloves during installation to avoid scratching or cutting
your hands on sharp edges.
• Avoid touching exposed connectors and metal parts to minimize the possibility
of bad connections.
• Drain all static electricity from your clothing and body before handling the card.
Static electricity can damage the card. Touch an exposed metal part of the
host device or other grounded object beforehand.
