Shipment
1.1
The U-CONTROL was carefully packed at the assembly plant
to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the
cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place,
please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical
indications of damage.
Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly to
◊
us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired the
unit immediately as well as the transportation company
from which you took delivery of the unit. Otherwise, all
claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
To assure optimal protection of your UMX during
◊
transport, we recommend utilizing a carrying case.
Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage
◊
due to storage or shipping.
Never let unsupervised children play with the device or
◊
with its packaging.
Please dispose of all packaging materials in an
◊
environment-friendly fashion.
Initial operation and power supply
1.2
Please make sure that the unit is provided with sufficient
ventilation, and never place the UMX on top of an amplifier
or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
The power supply can be realized in different ways
depending on the main application area. For the installation
of the UMX in a studio environment, it is possible to connect
the device directly to a free USB port of the computer using
the USB cable provided (see Fig. 1.1).
In case it is not possible to establish the power supply over
USB (e.g. because of an overload of the host computer due
to several USB devices connected), it is also possible to
operate the UMX with three 1.5-Volt batteries (type “AA”, see
Fig. 1.2).
Fig. 1.1: Power supply via USB.
Fig. 1.2: The battery compartment on the bottom side of the UMX.
Open the battery compartment by pressing the shutter
clamp carefully in the direction of the battery compartment,
while pulling the cover of the compartment upwards.
Please note the following points when inserting the
batteries:
The +symbol of the batteries must coincide with the
•
+symbol of the compartment! Incorrect polarity will
damage the electronics!
Do not mix old and new batteries! When you change the
•
batteries, always change all 3 batteries at the same time.
Do not use damaged batteries. The UMX could be
•
damaged due to the leakage of chemicals.
If you do not use the unit for an extended period of time,
•
please remove the batteries from the compartment. Here
again, the batteries could leak and damage the device.
After inserting the batteries, please close the battery
compartment and make sure the shutter clamp snaps into
place again. If you neither want to connect the power supply
over USB nor operate the device with batteries, there is yet
another possibility to connect the UMX over an external
power supply unit. Please observe the correct operational
data (DC 9 V; 100 mA) and correct polarity of the connector
plug; you will find information about this above the DC
input on the rear of the unit. Reverse polarity can damage
the electronics.
