    damages, fire or other hazards. These 
    precautions include, but are not limited to, the 
    following:
    • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as 
    heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or 
    otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or 
    place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip 
    over, or roll anything over it.
    • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device.  The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the 
    device.
    • Use the specified adaptor (PA-300C or an equivalent  recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor 
    can result in damage to the device or overheating.
    • Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
    • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or  dust which may have accumulated on it.
    • This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not  open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal 
    parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be 
    malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it 
    inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in 
    damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers 
    (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids 
    which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as 
    water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately 
    and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have 
    the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service 
    personnel.
    • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

     CAUTION
    Always follow the basic precautions listed below 
    to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or 
    others, or damage to the device or other 
    property. These precautions include, but are not 
    limited to, the following:
    • Do not cover or wrap the AC power adaptor with a cloth or 
    blanket.
    • When removing the electric plug from the device or an  outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling 
    by the cord can damage it.
    • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is  not to be used for extended periods of time, or during 
    electrical storms.
    • Do not place the device in an unstable position where it  might accidentally fall over.
    • Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at  the top/sides to prevent the internal temperature from 
    becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device 
    on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can 
    result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the 
    device(s), or even fire.
    • Do not place the device in a location where it may come  into contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may 
    result in malfunction.
    • Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
    • When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet  you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or 
    malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power and 
    disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power 
    is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the 
    minimum level. When you are not using the product for a 
    long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the 
    wall AC outlet.
    • Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the  power for all devices.
    Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all 
    volume levels to minimum. • Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning 
    the device.
    • Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or  openings on the device (vents, etc.). 
    •  Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic,  metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, 
    etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and 
    unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
    Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha 
    service personnel.
    • Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy  objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, 
    switches or connectors.
    • Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a  high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause 
    permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss 
    or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
    Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
    Even when the power is in standby status, electricity is 
    still flowing to the device at the minimum level. When you 
    are not using the device for a long time, make sure you 
    unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

    Interface. The UR824 brings the sum total of our 
    experience and know-how together with 
    invaluable feedback from our customers 
    throughout the world. Throughout the Yamaha n-
    series and Steinberg MR series our focus has 
    been on integrating consistently outstanding 
    sonic design with features and software that are 
    truly useful from a musician’s perspective. The

    approach, offering refined sound and 
    functionality in a 1U rack mount unit.
    With the goal of creating  a product that would be 
    of maximum value for the longest time in mind, 
    the development process began with in-depth 
    review of the many comments received from 
    users as a starting point  for the design and basic 
    specifications. Visual desi gn, the feel of buttons 
    and knobs, trial-and-error sonic evaluation of 
    parts, and seamless software integration are just 
    some of the elements to which every member of 
    the development team devote d their full attention 
    and passion. The entire team is rightly proud of 
    the results, and we are delighted to be able to 
    offer this product to our valued customers.
    But this is just the beginning. The most important 
    chapter unfolds when our customers use the 
    product to support and au gment their creativity, 
    making it a part of their musical lives. Our 
    greatest hope is that we are able to contribute in 
    some way to the creation and expression of new 
    music that will bring our cu stomers’ artistic vision 
    to life.
