Broken: Mackie console packaging

Gas_maskChris Barr points out:

I recently purchased a Mackie CFX16-MKII audio mixing console, and upon inspecting the box I noticed the normal warning symbols such as "fragile," "this end up," etc. 

Then I noticed this one nondescript odd symbol on the far right of the normal icons that looks like an alien wearing a gas mask or something.

There was no description of the symbol in the box, the manual or the website. There wasn't anything on the console itself that had anything to do with this symbol. I am still baffled as to what the symbol means.

I guess it's supposed to be a joke.

I'm guessing it either means "baby-safe" or something relating to headphones?

How about: Warning excessive use may create poisonous gas that may cause mutations. Pleases wear a gas mask when in use. lol :P

You guys need to lighten up, this isn't "broken". Mackie is famous for putting little jokes on it's packaging and they publish some of the only electronics manuals I've seen that are worth reading, 'cause they're entertaining. I guess the guy who bought this one never bothered to read his manual.

My guess would be, "Approved for underwater use."

I agree with john, mackie manuals are entertaining as hell.

Buddy. I saw that icon on the net! It means use a gas mask,like Aux10 said, and to use ear plugs when opening!

Accepted for Combine use? (Half-Life 2 reference -- the Combine (your main adversary) wear gas masks.)
