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

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.
