MAINS INPUT & FUSE
The specific mains input voltage rating that your amp has been manufactured for is indicated on the rear panel of the amp. Your amp is provided with a detachable mains (power) lead, which should be connected to the mains input socket on the rear panel of the amp. The correct value and type of mains fuse is specified on the rear panel of the amp.

Never attempt to bypass the fuse or fit one of the incorrect value or type.

IMPORTANT SET UP INFORMATION

1. When using your amp with one or more speaker cabinets, make sure that they are connected to the correct loudspeaker jack sockets.
   Warning: failure to do the above may damage your amp. When connecting a speaker cabinet make sure that you use a proper speaker cable. Never use a screened (shielded) guitar cable for this purpose.

2. Ensure that the power switch is set to the off position and the standby switch is set to standby.

3. Connect the supplied mains (power) lead into the mains input on the rear panel first and then into an electricity outlet.

4. Ensure that any master, volume and/or output level controls on the front panel are set to zero.

5. Plug your guitar into one of the input jack sockets on the front panel.

6. Turn the front panel power switch on and wait a couple of minutes.

7. Select between 20W / 5W using the standby switch.

8. Turn the volume up to your preferred level and you’re ready to play.

TRANSPORTING YOUR EQUIPMENT
Please ensure that your amp is switched off, unplugged from the mains electricity supply and all removable cables have been disconnected from your equipment before attempting to move it.
