To use this Studer GPIO Card, first make sure your Vista, OnAir, or Route 6000 system is powered off. Insert the card carefully into the appropriate slot in your system. After installation, power on the system and the card should start working. When handling the card, always be gentle to avoid any physical damage. Also, keep it away from static electricity. For maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the card's contacts with a soft, dry cloth every few months to ensure a good connection. If you notice any issues with the relay outputs or the card in general, turn off the system immediately and check for loose connections or signs of damage.
