Possible staining The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this
product may possibly react with the coating of your surface and after some
time cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet
directly on the surface and use a suitable underlay if necessary, i.e. felt-
pad floor protectors or similar.
- Where to use the product
- Never use the product
- in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
- in extremely dusty or dirty areas
- at locations where the unit can become wet
- General handling
- To prevent damage, never use force when handling the product.
- Never immerse the product in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents.
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
- In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries.
- When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
- Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
- Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
- If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.
- Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
- Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
- Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning lithium battery.

Using the product
-
Use the supplied power adapter to connect the device to the power and press the mains switch to switch on the device.
-
Use a suitable voltage supply cable to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 24 V supply voltage at a maximum of 2000 mA to the output 1.
-
Use a suitable voltage supply cable to connect devices with high power consumption (i. e. multi-effect devices) which require 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 3000 mA to the output 2.
-
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 250 mA to the outputs 3 – 4.
-
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 500 mA to the outputs 5 – 7.
Danger of property damage by polarity reversal
Make sure that the polarity of the devices to be connected must be
the same as the polarity of the power supply outputs ( ). Powering a device with polarity-reversed voltage may damage it! -
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 9 V ,12 V or 18 V supply voltage at a maximum of 500 mA, 375 mA or 250 mA to the outputs 8 – 9. Set the associated switch above the output to the position of the required voltage. The maximum output power of 31.5 W must not be exceeded.
Danger of property damage by overvoltage Make sure that connected devices are actually suitable for the set voltage. To power a device with overvoltage may damage it! -
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect devices as smartphones or tablets to the USB outputs.
-
Each operational output 1 – 9 is indicated by a green LED. If an output is switched off due to overload, the LED turns off. Then disconnect the respective pedal from the device. After approx. 2 seconds, the normal voltage supply is restored here.
-
Press the mains switch to switch off the device.
Technical specifications
- For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling. Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of. Do not just dispose of these materials with your normal household waste, but make sure that they are collected for recycling. Please follow the notes and markings on the packaging.
- Only dispose of lithium batteries when they are discharged. Remove replaceable lithium batteries from the device before disposal. Protect used lithium batteries against short circuits, for example by covering the poles with adhesive tape. Permanently built-in lithium batteries must be disposed of together with the device. Please inquire about an appropriate collection point.
This product is subject to the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) in its currently valid version. Do not dispose of your old device with your normal household waste. Dispose of this product through an approved waste disposal firm or through your local waste facility. Comply with the rules and regulations that apply in your country.
