SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
E ECTRICA SECURITY
Check that the current in the mains connection where the machine is to be installed corresponds to the
power supply of the machine.
To avoid damaging the equipment, electrical shocks, fire or physical injury when you connect or disconnect
the equipment from the power supply, pull the plug firmly out of the mains socket holding the plug, never the
cable.
Always do this with dry hands.
Keep the power supply cable far from sources of heat. Do not put heavy objects on top of it or change it.
Clean dust and dirt off the power supply cable regularly.
Do not open the machine; you could get an electric shock.
CAUTION
While installing the machine, make sure it is switched off and unplugged.
Do not open the machine. Touching the internal parts is dangerous and you could receive an electric shock.
The machine must not be splashed or dripped on. Never place recipients with liquid inside on the machine.
Do not place anything inside the machine.
OCATION
Place the equipment on a horizontal surface with enough space around it to allow ventilation.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and excessive dust.
Do not place the machine near magnetic fields or static electricity.
Do not use surfaces which vibrate or receive impact.
Do not pile machines on top of one another.
VENTI ATION
Never block or cover the ventilation slits on the machine.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it near sources of heat.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
When the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
If you are using an adapter, take into account that it will continue using electricity even if the machine is
switched off. If it is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
THE ENVIRONMENT
To save energy, switch the machine off when you are not going to use it for a long time. The machine could
contain substances that are harmful to the environment or human health. To minimize the effect of these
substances the machine must be correctly managed and recycled when you decide to dispose of it.
When you dispose of it remember: it cannot be thrown into a conventional rubbish bin.
If it contains or uses batteries, these must be disposed of separately.
The machine (without batteries) must be disposed of correctly. Put it in a container specially intended for the
collection of electronic and electrical appliances, at the dump or hand it over to the dealer when you purchase
similar equipment, so that the dealer can dispose of it correctly (at no added cost).

CONNECTION
Make the connections with the amplifier and all the audio system components switched off and disconnected
from the power supply.
To connect the microphone to the mixer model MXZ-2036 a Cat. 5 type control cable is used. This cable is
connected to the CONSO output on the mixer model MXZ-2036 and to the INE IN input of the first M-203
microphone.
In the case of there being more than one microphone, these are connected in cascade through the INK
OUT output of the first one towards the INE IN of the second.
Once the connections have been made in accordance with your needs, connect the equipment to the mains
and switch them on. After use, do not forget to switch the equipment off and disconnect it from the mains.
CONTROL CABLE
The cable used to connect the microphone to the P.A. system or several microphones in cascade must be
Cat. 5 cable. This cable has 8 conductors that must be connected in direct mode (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.) and both
ends must have RJ-45 (8P8C) connectors.
For example, you could use the following colour coding:
1-Blue
2-Blue/White
3-Brown
4-Brown/White
5-Orange
6-Orange/White
7-Green
8-Green/White
The numbering for the different cables is shown on the front of the RJ-45 connector.
