TRUTH B2030A/B2031A
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
The B2030A/B2031A was carefully packed at the factory to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.
+Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
1.1.2 Initial operation
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place the TRUTH on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
+Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models that were for example manufactured only for use with 120 V!
+If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuse accordingly. The correct value of the fuse 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 enclosed with the unit. All requiered safety precautions have been adhered to.
+Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or the unit itself.
1.1.3 Warranty
Please take a few minutes and send us the completely filled out warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at www.behringer.com.

INPUT. These are the balanced inputs of your TRUTH, laid out as 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors.
The mains connection is achieved via the standard IEC connector. A matching power cord is included.
FUSE COMPARTMENT/VOLTAGE SELECTION: Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage. Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without exception. Some units feature a fuse compartment that can be operated in two different positions, allowing alternating between 230 V and 120 V. Attention: when using the unit outside of Europe (running on 120 V), you have to implement a fuse with a higher rating.
Fig. 2.3: The POWER switch
Use the POWER switch to power up your TRUTH. The POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.
+Attention: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from the mains. Unplug the power cord completely when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.
