Controls
Powering up
Your new QXPA portable PA unit may arrive with you with the internal battery charged. Before
connecting to the mains, switch the unit on and see if the power LED lights. If not, you will
need to charge the battery before using away from a mains supply.
When not in use but connected to the mains, if the POWER switch is in the OFF position, the
internal battery will be re-charged from the mains supply. This can be observed by the
CHARGE LED which lights when charging. Connect the QXPA portable PA unit to the mains
using the appropriate mains IEC lead supplied. You may otherwise opt to connect the DC input
at the rear to an external 12Vdc supply (e.g car battery) or use the internal battery if charged.
Turn the VOLUME controls down (anti-clockwise) and turn the POWER switch on (the power
LED should light). BASS and TREBLE controls should remain pointing vertically (12-o-clock
position). Turn up the VOLUME control part way and switch VCV (voice controlled volume) off.
Your QXPA unit should now be ready to operate.
