SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

The Fender Passport sound system is supplied

with  a  detachable  power  cable  with  an  IEC
female  connector  and  a  male  AC  connector.
Depending  on  the  territory  in  which  the

Passport  system  is  purchased,  the  power  cable  will  be
supplied with one of a number of male AC connectors to
accommodate the different safety and code requirements
of specific countries. All AC cables supplied with Passport
products are three pin grounded types. 

Under no circumstances should the ground (earth) pin be
disconnected or removed. 

Your  Passport  System  features  a  Switch-Mode-Power-
Supply  designed  to  operate  on  any  AC  voltage  and  line
frequency to convert AC power with maximum efficiency. 

When  traveling  abroad  with  the  Passport  system,  as  a
standard  precaution,  always  check  the  local  voltage  and
set  the  voltage  selector  switch  located  adjacent  to  the
power input socket on the rear of the mixer / amplifier to
the  appropriate  operating  range.  This  check  must  be
performed  before  connecting  the  power  cable.  The
Fender Passport has two range settings: 115 V or 230 V.

Failure to select the appropriate voltage range will cause
the  unit  to  go  into  protect  mode,  void  any  warranty  and
may cause damage to the unit.

For  example,  The  United  States  of  America  is
standardized  at  117  volts  /  60  Hz,  Japan  operates  on
100 volts / 50 Hz. For both of these countries the range
selector must be set to 115 V. Countries in the EEC have
standardized  at  230  volts  /  50  Hz.,  however,  there  are
different  types  of  AC  plugs  used.  For  all  these  countries
the selector should be at the 230 V position. When using
plug adapters or operating in a territory other than the one
in  which  the  unit  was  purchased,  take  great  care  to
comply with local safety requirements and electrical codes
of practice.

If you are not sure of the local voltage, wiring codes &
colors,  AC  grounding,  or  correct  procedures  for
connection, consult a qualified technician.

Warning

Under no circumstances should the ground pin

on  the  Passport  or  on  any  of  your  electrical
equipment  be  lifted  (cut  off  or  disconnected).
By following the correct procedures and safety

precautions,  risks  of  severe  shock  hazard  can  be  mini-
mized.  Best  of  all,  avoid  operating  the  system  in  con-
junction  with  ungrounded  or  improperly  grounded
electrical equipment.

To  open  and  close  your  Passport  system,  simply  follow
these guidelines: 

1. Place your finger tip under the safety latch and gently
lift.  When  the  safety  latch  has  disengaged,  lift  the  main
latch to remove the speaker. 

2. To replace, position the speaker on the tower foot and
bring  the  speaker  in  to  close  the  engagement  with  the
tower and latch. Position the latch hook over the speaker
notch  and  close  the  latch.  The  safety  latch  will  automa-
tically engage.

Note: These parts are precision engineered and no force
is needed to secure them. Careful alignment of parts will
ensure easy operation.
