Default Connecting a DI Box to a Mixer

I have a Behringer Ultra-DI Pro DI4000 (which is an active DI Box) and
want to connect it to a Soundcraft Spirit LX7 Mixer. This Mixer has a
Global Phantom Power switch, meaning that when i turn on Phantom Power
for my mics, all of the XLR sockets receive Phantom Power. My question
is, will it be safe to connect the DI-Box to the XLR inputs anyway, even
with the Phantom Power on, or am I lokely to cook it by doing that.


Since phantom has been around a while now, I'd be surprised if anything
recent with a balanced output could be cooked by it.
