IMPORTANT NOTICE!

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS MAY RE­SULT IN DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER OR LOUDSPEAK­ERS. DAMAGES CAUSED IN SUCH A WAY ARE NOT COV­ERED BY WARRANTY.

Before you start, always make sure that your

$

Bugera Valve Amplier is connected to a suit­able loudspeaker. Observe the correct imped­ance for your loudspeaker and use the appro­priate output socket.

Always use loudspeaker cables for connection

$

between the amplier and the loudspeaker.
Never use other types of cable, like instru­ment cable or microphone cable.

Switching the amplier on and off:

Before connecting the amplier to a power out-

$

let, make sure that both POWER and STANDBY
switches are set to the OFF position.

Power on (mandatory):

Switch the POWER switch on—wait for 60 sec-

$

onds—then switch the STANDBY switch on.

Power off (recommended):

Switch the STANDBY switch off—wait for 30

$

seconds—then switch the POWER switch off.

Note—after powering off we recommend that the ampli-

er is allowed to cool down for ten minutes before any
attempt is made to move the amplier. This reduces the

risk of mechanical damage to the sensitive valve ele­ments.

ATTENTION! TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR
AMP, NEVER USE THE BUGERA VALVE AM-

!

PLIFIER WITHOUT A LOUDSPEAKER CON­NECTED!
