CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid
the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or
damage to the device or other property. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/power cord
• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the
cord can damage it.
Location
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over and cause injuries.
• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the
sides to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too
high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or
upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating,
possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
• When attempting to dissipate heat on the device, when
installing it:
- Do not cover it with any cloth.
- Do not install it on a carpet or rug.
- Make sure the top surface faces up; do not install on its
sides or upside down.
- Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated
location.
Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly
causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into
contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in
malfunction.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• If the device is mounted in an EIA standard rack, carefully
read the section "Precautions for Rack Mounting" on page 9.
Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly
causing damage to the device(s), malfunction, or even fire.
Connections
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the
power for all devices. Also, before turning the power of all
devices on or off, make sure that all volume levels are set to
the minimum. Failing to do so may result in electric shock,
hearing loss, or equipment damage.
Maintenance
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the
device.
Handling caution
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on
the device (vents, panel, etc.).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic,
metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents,
panel, etc.) If this happens, unplug the power cord from the
outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha
service personnel.
• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects
on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches
or connectors to prevent injuries.
• Do not connect any console cable other than an RJ-45/DB-9
console cable to the [CONSOLE (RS232-C)] connector. Doing
so may cause fire, electrocution, or malfunction.
• This product (SWP1-8MMF and SWP1-16MMF) uses lasers.
Do not look into the tip of an optical fiber or into an optical
connector. Doing so may damage your eyes.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is
lost or destroyed.
