[. . . ] This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: * Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna * Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver * Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. * Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help For further details contact Harman International Industries Ltd, Cranborne House, Cranborne Road, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire EN6 3JN, UK Telephone +44(0) 1707 665000 Fax +44 (0)1707 660742 email: soundcraft@harman. com © Harman International Industries Ltd.

Further information is in Chapter 22. Soundcraft Vi6TM User Guide Page 14 - 7 LOG Figure 14-9: Log Page. This page displays any errors which have occured since the console was last powered-up. These would usually be communications errors between the various components in the system, i. e. control surface, local rack and stagebox. The arrow butons allow the user to scroll up and down the list. The <Expand> button displays 3 lines of text for the currently-selected message, the <Compact> button replaces <Expand>. The <Auto Scroll> button causes the most recent message to be dispalyed as the currently-selected one. If the card configuration of the Local Rack is changed (e. g. , when optional cards are fitted in place of existing cards), the card labels will be automatically updated with the new card types if the `Reconfig' button on the Local Rack has been pressed after changing the cards. If an optional card has been fitted and the word `BLOCKED' is shown in place of `OK', this means that the new card has exceeded the total number of allowed input and output channels within the system (192 inputs and 192 outputs). This can happen particularly if additional MADI cards are fitted. In this case it is necessary to limit the number of channels on the new cards by changing their DIP switch settings. Page 14 - 12 Soundcraft Vi6TM User Guide STAGE BOX Figure 14-14: System - Stage Box Page This page displays a graphical representation, and the current status, of the cards in the Stage Box. It also shows the status of the PSU(s) and the status of the voltages for the analogue (VA) and digital (VD) power supply rails. The cooling fan status is also reported. A blue label under a card display indicates an input function, and a red label indicates an output function. If the card configuration of the Stagebox is changed (e. g. , when AES input or output cards are fitted in place of the analogue cards), the card labels will be automatically updated with the new card types if the `Reconfig' button on the Stagebox front panel has been pressed after changing the cards. The <R01> to <R06> buttons at the top of the screen are illuminated to show the connected Stage Box(es). These buttons relate to the valid double slots in the Local Rack where a MADI card could be connected. The default position when only one Stage Box is connected is R05.
