To use this Studer 8 - channel analog line out card, first make sure your D21m or D23m modular I/O system is powered off. Then carefully insert the card into the appropriate slot. Power on the system and you're ready to use it for your audio needs. When handling the card, avoid touching the electronic components with bare hands to prevent static damage. Keep the card in a dry and clean environment. If you notice any issues, power off the system immediately and check the card for any visible damage. For long - term use, it's a good idea to clean the card's contacts gently with a soft, dry cloth every few months.
