AC POWER NOTES

1. AC POWER CONNECTION

This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector. 

Connect the supplied detachable linecord to the power 
receptacle, and plug the other end of the linecord into 
an AC outlet. The mixer can accept any AC voltage   
ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.

2. POWER SWITCH

Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on 

the mixer. The front panel power LED will glow with 
happiness and the mixer will become fully operational.
