POWERING UP
The Fono MC is turned on by pressing the on-off button located on the front. When the unit is active the Rega logo will glow RED. WARNING: We advise you to turn the Fono on first followed by the amplifier. This is because the power surge in the Fono could cause an audible power on “thump” which may distress the speakers.
METHOD OF CONNECTION
INPUT: Connect the tonearm leads and earth (if used) to the input socket and to the earth terminal on the back of the Fono.
**Input loading DIP switch settings***
(located on rear panel):

stage, DO
NOT connect the Fono to this input.
