Powering up

Your new QUEST portable PA unit may arrive with you with the internal battery charged.

Before connecting to the mains, turn down all volume controls and switch the unit on (25) and
see if the power LED lights. If not, you will need to charge the battery before use away from
mains power. Connect the QUEST unit to the mains using the appropriate IEC power lead
supplied (26).

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, indicated by charging and battery
status LEDs (11).

You may otherwise opt to connect the DC input at the rear (12) to an external 12-15Vdc
supply (e.g car battery) or use the internal battery if charged.
