1. Read all safety and operating instructions before using this product

2. The product should be powered by a three pin `grounded (or earthed) plug connected to a power socket
with a grounded earth outlet.

3. All safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference

4. Obey all cautions in the Operating instructions and on the back of the unit

5. All operating instructions should be followed

6. This product should not be used near water, i.e. a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.

7. This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should
not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built up enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air.

8. This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat
producing amplifier.

9. Connect only to a power supply of the type marker on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

10. Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord.

11. Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk or place equipment on power supply
cords.Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at the plug and the point where the
chord exits the unit.

12. The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.

13. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

14. The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in
conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable.

15. Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned
with a damp cloth or ammonia based household cleaner if necessary. Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning.

16. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any

17. A qualified service technician should check the unit if:

18. The user should not attempt to service the equipment. All service work is done by a qualified service
technician.

19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing gloss. Individuals vary
considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if
exposed to sufficientlyintense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposure.

Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, slow response

8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1 ½ 102
1 105
½ 110
¼ or less 115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss.
Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system
in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above. To ensure against
potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to
equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by
hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!.

After unpacking your amplifier check that it is factory fitted with a three pin 'grounded' (or earthed) plug. Before
plugging into the power supply ensure you are connecting to a grounded earth outlet.

If you should wish to change the factory fitted plug yourself, ensure that the wiring convention applicable to the
country where the amplifier is to be used is strictly conformed to. As an example in the United Kingdom the cable
colour code for connections are as follows;

EARTH OR GROUND - GREEN/YELLOW

NEUTRAL - BLUE
LIVE - BROWN

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Laney amplifier.

Laney products are designed with ease of operation as a primary objective, however to ensure you derive the best from

your new amplifier, it is important you take time to read this user manual and to familiarise yourself with the control
functions and facilities available.

INTRODUCTION

BEFORE
SWITCHING ON

This manual has been written for easy access of information. The front and rear panels of each unit are
graphically illustrated, with each control and feature numbered. For a description of the function of each control
feature, simply check the number with the explanations adjacent to each panel.

Your Laney dedicated ACOUSTIC amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving
actual play testing, as well as burn in.

When you first receive your Laney dedicated ACOUSTIC amplifier, follow these simple procedures:

(I) Ensure that the amplifier is set at the correct voltage for the country it is to be used in.

(ii) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise
the sound of your instrument and your amplifier.
