V-TONE GM110

+The following user’s manual will familiarize you with the control elements of your new V-TONE and let you learn all of its functions. After reading this manual, store it somewhere where you can easily find in the future, should you need to look up some information.

1.3Before you get started

1.3.1 Shipment

The V-TONE was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport.

Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that your V-TONE may have been damaged in transport, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.

+Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired it immediately as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/ repair may be rendered invalid.

1.3.2 Initial operation

Please make sure that your V-TONE is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place it on other amplifiers or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.

+Before plugging your V-TONE into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage:

The fuse mount near the power cord connector has three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are facing opposite one another. Your V-TONE is set up for the voltage indicated near these markings, and can be altered by turning the fuse mount by 180 degrees. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models built for 120 V, for example!

+If you use your V-TONE unit with a different voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.

+Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating, without exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.

Power is delivered via the cable that was delivered with the V- TONE. All mandatory safety precautions have been adhered to.

+Please make sure that all your equipment is grounded at all times. For your own protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or the unit itself. The unit shall always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. You can eliminate humming problems caused by grounding at the D.I. OUT by pressing the

GND switch (Groundlift, ).

1.3.3 Warranty

Please send the completely filled out warranty card within 14 days of purchase to us, as warranty claims may otherwise be rendered invalid. The serial number of your V-TONE is located on the rear. Alternatively, you may register online at www.behringer.com.
