POWER SWITCH
The POWER switch is located on the front panel. The LED will illuminate GREEN, indicating the respective amplifiers are on. It is possible to leave the power switch in the ON position and switch the monitor remotely through a power distribution block or switched outlet. When doing so, make sure the switch is rated for the current required by the monitor.
Standard practice is to turn the amplifier on last and off first when switching components to prevent sending damaging transients to the speakers.
Es costumbre encender el amplificador de último y apagarlo de primero cuando se estan encendiendo/ apagando otros equipos, para así evitar el envío de transientes dañinas a los parlantes.
Il est de pratique courante de commencer par tourner l'amplificateur sur “off” et de terminer par “on,” lorsqu'il s'agit de prévenir l'envoie de passages nuisible aux
Der Verstärker sollte als letztes Gerät eingeschaltet und als erstes Gerät wieder ausgeschaltet werden, um eine Beschädigung der Lautsprecher durch spannungsspitzen zu vermeiden.
L'uso comune consiglia l'accensione dell'amplificatore per ultimo e lo spegnimento per primo quando si accendono i vari componenti, per evitare l'invio di transitori danneggianti agli altoparlanti.
STATUS LED
Amplifier operation is monitored internally and has a status LED. This indicator can be used for system troubleshooting in case of aberrant behavior.

RUBBER PAD
A large rubber pad is supplied to eliminate annoying buzzes and rattles when placing the monitors on mixing consoles or similar mounting surfaces. Attach the pad to the underside of the monitor in the following manner:
•Thoroughly clean area where pad will be positioned (i.e., with isopropyl alcohol)
•Remove paper liner from rubber pad (avoid touching adhesive with fingers)
•Position pad in desired location
•Press pad firmly to insure good contact
BREAK-IN and WARM-UP
We recommend initially breaking in the woofer for approximately 8 hours with musical information to establish the mon- itor's natural bass response. To achieve the best sonic performance and image stability from the internal amplifiers, we rec- ommend letting them warm up for 1 hour before beginning any critical listening.
CLEANING and MAINTENANCE
There is no requirement for regular maintenance on the electronic components of the monitor. If the cabinet or woofer becomes soiled, it can be cleaned using a damp, soft cloth. If the monitor is located in a particularly dusty environment, cleaning the inside with compressed air or vacuuming every 18 to 24 months is sufficient.
