Tech 21 Trademark 300 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

HEED ALL WARNINGS.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to important operating and maintenance
instructions in the accompanying literature. Read the manual.

This unit is powered by potentially hazardous voltage. Therefore, observe
the following safety precautions:

1.

Read and follow all instructions before using product.

2. Do not use product near water (such as near
a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swimming
pool, in a wet basement, etc.).

3. Unit should be located so that its location or
position does not impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.

4. Product should be located away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, or
other products, including amplifiers, that produce
heat.

5. Product should be connected to a power sup­ply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.

6. Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

7. Do not allow objects or liquids to penetrate the enclosure through openings.

8. During heavy use, chassis may get hot to the touch. Handle with care.

9. Protect unit from strong impact.

10. Unplug product before cleaning. Never spray liquid cleaners into the amp: wipe

with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is rec-

ommended by the manufacturer. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/product combination to avoid injury from tip­ping over.

13. Amplifiers may be capable of producing high volume levels that
could cause permanent hearing loss or damage, if the exposure to such levels is pro­longed. Such damage is progressive and irreversible! If you experience any hearing
loss or ringing in the ears, consult an audiologist.

14. Unplug unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.

15. This unit must be earth grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, NEVER
remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. If the provid­ed plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not expose this unit
to rain or moisture. Do not remove the chassis from its cabinet, or remove metal cov­ering from chassis parts. Removing the chassis from its cabinet exposes extremely
dangerous high voltages. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Hazardous volt­ages are present inside the chassis. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

CAUTION: Never modify the power cord. If original power cord becomes damaged,
frayed, or has exposed wires, replace immediately with same rating and gauge, or
higher. Replacements are commercially available or you can contact Tech 21 directly.

WARNING: Attempting to repair this unit is not recommended and may void its
warranty. NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, servicing is performed at factory only. In
other countries, please refer repairs to the local Tech 21 authorized distributor.

QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

Get your Trademark 300 up and running before reading the entire manual. However,
by not reading the manual, you’ll miss getting the most out of your new investment!

1. Plug the Trademark 300 head into speaker cabinet(s). If you’re not using Tech 21’s
cabinets, we recommend cabinets be rated for minimum of 300W RMS at 4Ω,
200W RMS at 8Ω, or 150W RMS at 16Ω.

2. Connect the Trademark 300’s AC cord to the head and plug into a wall socket.

3. Plug your instrument into the front panel Input jack (on the left side).

4. Connect the Footswitch.

5. Make sure the Level control on each channel is turned down. Then turn on the
Trademark 300 and adjust the Level controls accordingly.

6. Play your guitar and you should hear a sound coming through the amp. If not, check
that your guitar’s volume control is turned up, recheck your connections, and be sure
your cables aren’t faulty. If there is still no sound, refer to factory or qualified technician.
