PA-280W User Manual

Note:   

1)

 

The front fan covers can be removed to clean the air intake path. No screw driver is needed, and no 

disassembly of the PA is required. 

2)

 

When a warning occurs and the PA enters auto-protection mode, the only way to clear this state is to 

cycle power on the PA module once the problem(s) is resolved. Otherwise all warning LEDs will 

remain on even if the problem(s) no longer exists.
