Guarantee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser
must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco
must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning,
at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement
at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a
reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or
indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component
of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties
guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of Barco.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the goods are handled incorrectly,
in particular if the systems are operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in
the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures
which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as normal
maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in this manual must be complied with by the
customer.

2. Safety
2. SAFETY
About
Read this chapter thoroughly before attempting to install or operate the IOSONO ONE.
To prevent personal injury to users or physical damage to the IOSONO ONE while installing and using your IOSONO ONE, ensure
that you understand and follow all safety guidelines, instructions and warnings included in this chapter and this manual.
2.1 General Considerations
About
The IOSONO ONE is designed for installation in control cabinets.
The IOSONO ONE is a high-performance audio processor used to control and configure an IOSONO sound system.
The IOSONO ONE and all associated components may only be used if they are in perfect, technical working order, and for their
intended purpose, with safety in mind and an awareness of the dangers, and as stated in this manual.
The IOSONO ONE is operated via a graphic user interface. Reference is made to the currently valid guidelines for working with a
visual display unit.
There are additional documents for other components of the sound system containing warning, safety and working instructions.
These instructions must be observed independently of this manual.
2.2 Important safety instructions
About
The IOSONO ONEoffers an extremely high level of safety if used properly and in compliance with the instructions contained in this
manual. Read and comply with the following safety instructions before operating the device. Retain safety and operating instruc-
tions for future reference. Adhere to all warnings on the device and in the operating instructions manual. Follow all instructions for
operation and use.
Installation
The device may only be installed and operated by authorized, suitably qualified personal. More advanced configurations of the
apparatus may only be made by skilled personnel with knowledge of sound technology.
Place the device on a flat, solid and stable surface or fix the device to an appropriate rack mounting system that can support the
total weight of the device. If you use an unstable cart or stand, the device may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and
serious damage to the device.
Modifications to the unit
Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer. No serviceable parts inside.
Electric shock or fire hazard
To prevent electric shock or fire hazard, do not remove cover. Do not insert any objects through aperture in the casing.
Power connection and transient over voltage
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to supply mains with protective earth.
• The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.
• The equipment is intended for continuous operation.
• If the device is not used for long time, disconnect it from the AC inlet to avoid damage by transient over-voltage.
• To fully disengage the power to the device, please disconnect all power cords from the AC inlets.
Power cords
Please always use the power cords provided with the product. Furthermore, make sure that the used power cord always corresponds
to the voltage of the power socket, is permitted to be used at your location and complies with the safety standards of your country.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this may result in fire or electric shock.
Mains lead protection (U.S.: Power cord): Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked upon or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs and receptacles. The power supply cords should
be replaced by the designated operator only at all times.

2. Safety
Water and moisture
Never expose the device to rain or moisture. Never use the device near water e.g. near a swimming pool.
Ventilation
Inadequate heat dissipation can lead to hardware faults and loss of data. Do not cover or block any ventilation openings in the side
and back of the set. When installing the device in a cupboard or another closed location, heed the necessary space between the
set and the sides of the cupboard. If necessary, consider additional external cooling, to ensure proper heat dissipation.
Material damage caused by electromagnetic fields
The apparatus contains parts sensitive to electromagnetic fields, like hard disc drives. Strong magnetic fields may lead to loss of
data or harm the system functionality partly or persistently. Do not place the apparatus within the range of strong magnetic fields.
