CAUTIONS REGARDING
HANDLING
Location
Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will
not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
÷ Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to
direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators.
Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and
internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or
dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or
accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the
unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
÷ When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth,
separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve
heat radiation.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously
cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises
sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not
be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow
the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room
temperature gradually.
Cleaning the Unit
÷ Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
÷ When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry
cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
÷ Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other
chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the
surfaces.
Installing the DJM-3000 in an EIA rack
The screw holes on the front panel of the DJM-3000 are
designed for use in attaching the unit to a 19-inch EIA rack.
÷ Attach the unit to the rack using screws of the appropriate
size (screws not provided with the unit).
Note
÷ Never place this unit directly above a power amplifier, as
the heat given off by the amplifier might result in damage
to the unit. Placing the unit directly above a power amplifier
might also result in ham radio signals being picked up or in
other types of interference.
÷ Allow at least 1U (43.7mm) space between this
component and the one mounted above it, so as to assure
that the cords connected to this unit's input/output
connectors and terminals do not touch the component
above.
÷ Always be sure to remove the unit from its rack before
shipping.
÷ When moving the unit while still installed in its rack,
exercise caution to avoid subjecting the unit to shocks or
vibration.
