detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well,
and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry.
Applying alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, insecticides, or other
stringent substances to the jog dial may cause the markings or
finishing of the dial to peel or become discolored, and the use of
any such substances should accordingly be avoided.

The screw holes on the front panel of the SEP-C1 are designed for
use in attaching the unit to a 19-inch EIA rack.
This unit complies with 3U specifications. Maximum depth of unit
is 83.5 mm.
• Attach the unit to the rack using screws of the appropriate size
(screws not provided with the unit).
NOTE
• Do not install the unit immediately above a power amplifier,
since damage may occur from the heat produced by the
amplifier, or humming or other noise may be caused.
• When transporting the unit, remove the unit from its rack.
Attempting to move the rack with the unit installed may
result in damage to the unit.
• If the unit must be moved while still in its rack, take
precautions to protect the unit from vibration and impact.
