OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Dear Player,

Thank you very much for purchasing your new Laney product and becoming part of the worldwide Laney family. Each and every Laney unit
is designed and built with the utmost attention to care and detail, so I trust yours will give you many years of enjoyment.

Laney products have a heritage which stretches back to 1967 when I first began building valve amplifiers in my parent’s garage. Since then
we have moved on from strength to strength developing an extensive range of guitar, bass, public address and keyboard amplification
products along with a list of Laney endorsees that includes some of the world’s most famous and respected musicians. At the same time
we believe we have not lost sight of the reason Laney was founded in the first place - a dedication to building great sounding amplification
for working musicians.

Warm Regards,

Lyndon Laney CEO

4). Unpacking: On unpacking your product please check carefully for any signs of damage that may
have occured whilst in transit from the Laney factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event that there
has been damage, please repack your unit in it original carton and consult your dealer. We strongly
advise you to keep your original transit carton, since in the unlikly event that your unit should
develop a fault, you will be able to return it to you dealer for rectification securely packed.

5). Amplifier Connection: In order to avoid damage , it is advisable to establish and follow a
pattern for turning on and off your system. With all system parts connected, turn on source
equipment, tape decks, cd players, mixers, effects processors etc, BEFORE turing on your guitar
amplifier. Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause damage to
your speakers.
By turning on your guitar amplifier LAST and making sure its level control is set to a minimum, any
transients from other equipment should not reach your loud speakers. Wait till all system parts have
stabillised, usually a couple of seconds. Similarly when turning off your system always turn down the
level controls on your guitar amplifier and then turn off its power before turning off other
equipment

6). Cables: Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be
stubstantial enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to your complete system.

7). Caution: These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound
pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid excessive levels that can cause
permament hearing damage.

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

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.

9). Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel
