MICROPHONE TRIM CONTROL

A small circular potentiometer is located on the underside of the preamp just below the battery compartment. This control is used to calibrate the microphone gain in relation to the pickup. To use this control, set the BLEND slider to the center position and, with a small screwdriver, adjust the potentiometer until both the microphone and pickup levels are balanced.

ENDPIN JACK

The ONBOARD BLENDER™ has no ON/OFF switch. It is turned on only when an instrument cable is plugged into the endpin jack. To conserve the battery, remove the instrument cable from the endpin jack when the unit is not being used.

NOTE: Plug an instrument cable into the endpin jack before you plug into the sound equipment. Doing so will prevent loudspeaker damage.

BATTERY LOW LED

When plugging into the endpin jack, the LOW BATTERY light will flash momen- tarily, indicating that the power is on. When the LOW BATTERY light stays on, it is time to change the battery.
