To mate the AC mains cable with the AC mains connector on the amplifier, align the plug with the 
connector, insert the plug, and rotate clockwise until a ‘click’ is heard and the cable is locked into 
place.  This locking mechanism also functions as the power switch for the amplifier. 

To  disconnect  the  cable  end  of  the  AC  mains  connector,  pull  back  on  the  yellow  thumb  grip,  and 
rotate the plug assembly counter-clockwise until the connector can slide out easily.   

 

TIP:  Always  connect  the  cable  before  turning  on  mains  power  to  avoid  accidents.  
Likewise, also turn off mains power before disconnecting the cable.  NEVER carry a 
live cable to the speaker before connection.     

 

NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT THE AC MAINS END OF THE AC MAINS CABLE IN AN AREA 
THAT IS WET OR SUBJECT TO CONDENSATION OR DAMP CONDITIONS! 

 

Once  the  AC  mains  cable  is  securely  connected  to  both  the  amplifier  and  AC  mains  supply,  the 
amplifier will be turned on.  It is good practice to lower the volume level during turn on to avoid any 
unexpected loud audio.  As such it is also recommended to connect signal cables before powering up 
the system. 

 

NOTE:  If the pilot light does not illuminate within 30 seconds the unit may have a 
fault. If this occurs, the unit should be returned to P.Audio for evaluation. 

 

 
THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE. DO NOT REMOVE THE AMPLIFIER MODULE!
 (See 
the section below “Replacement of Components” for more detailed information).
