Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
• DAP Kontrol D4i
• USB cable 1,5 m
• CD with Virtual DJ LE software
• User manual
• Power adapter

Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this system has to:
• be qualified
• follow the instructions of this manual
Before you initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should
there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the system.
To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to
follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.

IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.
•Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
•Never leave any cables lying around.
•Do not connect this system to a dimmerpack.
•Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.
•Do not open the device and do not modify the device.
•Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full output.
•Only use system indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquids.
•Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.
•Make sure you don’t use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.
•When using a power adaptor, make sure that the available voltage is
not higher than stated on the rear panel.
•Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power adaptor or signal cable.
•Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving your
equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by
using the INPUT control.
•To emphasize a frequency range, you don’t necessarily have to move its respective control upward;
try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This way, you avoid causing the next piece of
equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve
(“headroom”).
•Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the
same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
•If system is dropped or struck, disconnect the power supply or USB cable immediately. Have a
qualified engineer inspect for safety before operating.
•If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not
switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave the
system switched off until it has reached room temperature.
•If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit securely
(preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your Dap Audio dealer for service.
•Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
•For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
Operating Determinations

damages and the warranty becomes void.
Any other operation may lead to dangers like short-circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.
