IMPORTANT NOTES IN OPERATION 1. Avoid using headphones for long hours at high volume levels. Doing so can result in hearing failure. Any sudden increase in headphone sound levels must also be avoided. This could result in damage to your hearing. 4. Switch off power to the mixer when interconnecting it to external equipment. Always be sure to switch off the MN04 power when interconnecting external equipment to the MN04. 2. Turn down all sound volume controls when switching on power to this mixer. Also, turn all volume controls when switching on/off power to the MN04. Otherwise, a sudden loud noise could have a bad affect on you ears and your hearing. 5. Properly dispose of exhausted battery removed from the mixer. Do not throw old battery removed from MN04 into a fire. This is very dangerous as they could explode. 6. Use an AC adaptor specified by Fostex. Be sure to use the AC adaptor specified by Fostex. The power cord connector polarity could be wrong depending on the manufacturer. The schematic is indicates that the outer sheath is minus polarity and the inner pole plus 3. [. . . ] Line level output signals only should be connected to channels 2 ~4 as these jacks are designed for line output sound sources. PHONES jack Monitor headphone is plugged in here. CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTOR/INSTALLING THE BATTERY Plug the AC adaptor cable into the MN04 DC IN jack and plug the AC adaptor into the wall outlet. Battery Compartment Open the mixer bottom battery compartment lid by hand, correctly connect the plug to the battery, and place battery in compartment and replace lid as before. <NOTE> Be sure to remove the battery if it is not to be used for long hours or extensive periods of time. If not, it could result in leaking electrolyte from the battery which can ruin your new mixer. DC IN jack AC adaptor <NOTE> Unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet if the MN04 is not to be used for long hours or extensive periods of time. Plug Battery INTERCONNECTING EXAMPLE WITH EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT As shown in example below, by interconnecting MN04 as a sub mixer with a multitracker having few input ports, a multitude of sound sources can then be mixed and recorded by the multitracker.
