- WARNING: Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit.

WARNING: Mains plug is used as disconnect device and it should remain readily operable during intended use. In order to disconnect the apparatus from the mains completely, the mains plug should be disconnected from the mains socket outlet completely.

- Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbonzinc), or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

1) Read these instructions. Lisez ces instructions.

2) Keep these instructions. Conservez ces instructions.

3) Heed all warnings. Respectez tous les avertissements.

4) Follow all instructions. Suivez toutes les instructions.

The 6301N series are small monitors with built-in amplifiers for various kinds of monitoring.

■ Features of 6301ND/NX/NE/NB

• The cone-shaped, full-range speaker produces stable sound.
• As the speaker is compact and consists of a single unit, it can be placed anywhere.
• The speaker uses a tough, aluminum die cast enclosure.
• The speaker has the same width and height as the older model, so upgrading is easy.
• Switches and knobs do not protrude from the panel to prevent damage caused if the speaker falls over.
• Equipped with a switching power circuit compatible with 100 V to 240 V AC power supplies.
• By attaching wall mounting bracket EB-6301 (sold separately) to the unit, you can both adjust the angle of the unit and fix it to walls.
• The unit has an auto standby function that saves power automatically (power consumption of 0.5 W or less) when input continuously falls below a certain level.

The auto standby function

When input to the unit continues below a certain level for approximately 25 minutes, the auto standby function is activated, and power consumption is reduced to 0.5 W or below. If input then exceeds a certain level, the unit reverts to its normal state. The auto standby function may not function normally depending on the noise level of devices connected to the input terminals on the unit.

Note

• When a device is only connected to the [DIGITAL IN] terminal, the unit goes into standby unless the digital signal is locked.
• Even if the digital signal is locked, the unit goes into standby when input continues below a certain level for about 25 minutes.
