PRESS ONCE:

The AC INPUT CONTROL screen is called up, allowing the user to connect or disconnect the FX to an AC input source.

If a HUB is employed, AC INPUT CONTROL only affects the Master FX connected to PORT 1; the Master FX then gives the same command to the Slave FXs

<USE> enables the FX to connect to an AC input source.

<DROP> disconnects the AC input source but will allow it to be reconnected if the “low battery cut-off set point” occurs or the FX is overloaded.

<OK> returns to the point in the menu system before you entered the AC INPUT CONTROL menu cycle.

If HBX Mode is enabled, the AC INPUT CONTROL will read:

or
