SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before using the Disk Jockey, please follow these important
safety precautions. Improper use of the Disk Jockey could
potentially cause serious harm or injury. We recommend
that you go through this document thoroughly before
attempting to use the Disk Jockey. Please be careful and use
common sense when working with your Disk Jockey.
General Disk Jockey Warnings
• If you see or smell smoke coming from the Disk
Jockey immediately remove the main power adapter
from the unit. Then remove the adapter from the wall
outlet as well. Please contact Diskology support at
support@diskology.com.
• Do not take apart the Disk Jockey. Failure to comply
with this request could cause shorts or possibly fire and
will void your warranty (NOTE - the PCB inside the
Disk Jockey is held inside on rails, therefore when you
shake the Disk Jockey there can be a rattling sound.
This is normal and does not effect performance).
• Please do not put foreign objects or water into the Disk
Jockey. If water or a foreign object gets into the chassis,
immediately remove the power to the unit and contact
Diskology support.
• Please use caution when working around water, drinks,
etc.
• Do not place the Disk Jockey on an unstable platform as
it could fall and cause damage to the unit, break the unit
or possibly case injury to the operator or to the people

6
around it. If you continue to use the Disk Jockey after
you suspect that it may be broken you could be at risk
for fire.
•Please only use the included power adapter with the
Disk Jockey. Please do not connect it to another power
adapter. Please make sure you insert the power cord into
the proper power outlet. If you happen to plug it into a
different power outlet beyond the spec of the unit it may
cause the unit to fail.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit or on top of the
power adapter or power cord. Doing this could cause
damage to the unit or cause the unit to malfunction and
break.
Cautions (not as severe as Warnings but still not a good
idea to do these things)
• Do not use the Disk Jockey in extreme heat or humidity.
• Do not use the unit in direct sunlight or leave the unit
exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
• If you are not planning on using the unit for a long
period of time we recommend removing the power cord
from the unit and storing the unit in a safe place.
• If you are planning on moving the unit it is a good idea
to remove all of the cords and cables attached to the unit
before moving it. Moving the unit while cords are still
attached could cause shorts.
• Be careful when using the unit around large amounts
of static electricity. Static could cause the electronics
inside the Disk Jockey to fail. We recommend taking

7
all necessary static precautions including wearing anti-
static wristbands (not included) and grounding yourself
before working with the unit.
