5.0 MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The zenAmp does not require service of any type. There are however a few basic rules that will extend the service life of your amp enormously:
•Make sure all peripheral devices, cords and cables are in a state of good repair!
•Ensure plenty of air can circulate around your amp's ventilation ducts at all times.
•Definitely avoid exposure to mechanical shocks and extreme heat, dust and particularly moisture.
•Be picky about the kind of peripheral devices you connect to your amp and always check out their specs before you plug them in. Under no circumstances should you connect devices with high output signal levels (e.g. power amps) to your amp's input.
•Be sure the AC power source delivers the current that your amp is designed to handle before you plug it in. When in doubt about the local rating, ask the venue's sound technician or
a stage hand.
•Refrain from DIY repairs! To be on the safe side, you should also have a qualified technician replace internal fuses.

E4) The sound is totally distorted when you activate a connected effects device.
•The input of the effect device is being overdriven. If it is equipped with a level meter or other level indicator, check the signal level and back off the signal processor's input sensitivity (via a knob labeled "Input" or "Gain").
E5) The signal level drops considerably when you connect an external effects device,
•The effect device is sending the signal back at too low a level. Turn up the signal processor's output level.
