[. . . ] Grasp the power cable by the connector and never by the cord itself when connecting and disconnecting it from the power source. Do not expose the Pro64 device to moisture, rain, or excessively damp environments. AC Line Conditioning Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available with built-in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment. Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an uninterruptiblepowersupply, or UPS). Rack Mounting Pro64 products are designed to be mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack. The rack ears on each side of the device are designed to support the weight of the product without additional hardware. Always support the unit with all four screws to avoid damage to the unit. To rack mount the Pro64 product, position it in the equipment rack at the desired location. Use standard rack-mounting screws (10-32 size) to attach the unit to your rack hardware. Aviom suggests the use of non-metallic washers between the rackmounting screws and the device's finished surface to avoid marring the finish on your Aviom products. MAiNtAiNiNg Your Pro64 Product Ventilation Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks. Avoid placing your Pro64 product directly above or below other rack-mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amplifiers. Cleaning Before cleaning a Pro64 product, turn off the power switch and unplug the unit from the AC power source. To clean the surface of the Pro64 product use a clean, soft lint-free cloth that has been slightly moistened with water only. For tougher dirt, use a cloth slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent. Always be sure to dry the surface of the unit before proceeding with use. When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first. Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the finished surfaces of your Aviom products.

Network Mode Indicator The mode LED lights to display the current network mode, which can be set to Auto or Manual at the network's Control Master. When the Pro64 network is operating in Auto Mode, the red Auto LED will be lit. In Auto Mode, no user settings are available on the MH10/MH10f; all ten A-Net ports function identically. [. . . ] In Manual Mode Configuration C (Merge 1-8), ports 9 and 10 serve as a redundant pair, with one port available as a backup when two MH10/MH10f units are used. Audio from the A-Net streams received at ports 1-8 are merged into a single stream, which is transmitted out port 8, as well as port 9 or 10. This configuration is ideal for creating a digital snake and is capable of creating multiple digital splits of the stage source material for connection to a monitor console as well as to recording and broadcast devices. P Note: Never connect more than one cable between ports 9 and 10 except in Manual Mode Configuration C; doing so will result in a data loop.
