1. Battery (not included): insert the battery in the dedicated sled.

2. External Power Supply (included): connect the power supply to the

relative connector.

COMPATIBILITY:

ACUS Sound Engineering SRL suggest the use of MAKITA 18V- 3 or 5 Ah.

flash. In this status the LED ON Time is about 1/3 of LED Time OFF.

3. Very Low Battery Status: Battery Status LED ( 9) ON Time isthe same

of Time ON.

4. Completely Discharged Battery Status: Battery Status LED ( 9) if

always ON and the system stops to work. In this status is necessary
to replace the battery with another one full.

WARNING:

1. Is important to recharge the battery as soon as possible.

2. Avoiding to let the ON /OFF Switch (14) when the system isnot used

because the system continue to absorb energy.

3. Avoid to let a totally discharged battery inserted because the system

adsorbs a very little quantity of energy even with the ON/ OFF Switch
in the OFF position, and this fact (for a long time) will put the battery
in a very low discharged status, reducing the battery life.

EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY POWERING.

The system works always in "Battery Full" status, so Batter y Status
LED ( 9) is always OFF.

important to have a moderate volume to the amplifier DIRECT OUT output.
If the amplifier is equipped with the attenuation switch (labeled with -10dB)
push this switch for a very easy and fast signal level matching.
If the amplifier is not equipped with this switch, for best configuration please
reduce all channel volume more than half and then regulate the amplifier
master volume for obtaining the right sound to the speaker.
