13 Introduction Introduction The following items are included with the M-300. Make sure that all of them are present: • The M-300 itself • Power cord * Use only the power cord that was included with the M-300.
14 Introduction Introduction Ethernet connectors Ethernet cables use RJ45 plugs. REAC equipment provides an RJ45 connector for each REAC port. fig.RJ45andREAC-j.eps For critically important communication, it is vital to protect the RJ45 plug and connector.
15 Introduction Introduction Placement You must attach the ferrite cores before using the M-300. This is for the purpose of preventing electromagnetic noise; do not remove it. 1. Spread the tabs, and open the ferrite core. fig.core1.eps 2. Attach a ferrite core near the RJ45 plug on the Ethernet cable.
16 Introduction Introduction Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to a grounded AC outlet, and the other end to the AC INPUT connector to provide power for the M-300’s internal power supply. Use only the supplied power cords to prevent damage to the units.
17 Introduction Introduction Turning the power on/off 941 Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
18 Introduction Introduction The M-300 has an internal lithium battery that backs up the clock function and the mixer settings. If this battery runs down, the clock function and the feature that provides for the reinstatement of the mixer settings that existed prior to switching off the power will no longer operate correctly.
19 Introduction Introduction About USB memory The M-300 can use USB memory to store and read a variety of data. • Record and play WAV files using the USB Memory Recorder • Save and load user settings files • Back up and recover internal mixer data Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in—until it is firmly in place.
