Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment. Never break off
the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a
suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of
shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the mixer and all other associated equipment are properly grounded.
(5) Fuse Holder
The fuse is located within the cap of the fuse holder. If the fuse fails, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME
TYPE AND VALUE NOTED ON THE BACK OF THE UNITS FOR THE SELECTED LINE VOLTAGE IN ORDER TO
AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY. If the amp repeatedly
blows the fuse, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.
