HERE ARE A FEW MORE BASIC RULES THAT WILL EXTEND THE SERVICE LIFE OF YOUR AMP ENORMOUSLY IF YOU FOLLOW THEM:

Make sure all peripheral devices and connecting cables are in a state of good repair! - Ensure plenty of air can circulate around the amp's ventilation slots at all times your PURETONE's life depends on it.- Definitely avoid exposure to mechanical shocks and extreme heat, dust and particularly moisture.

Be very careful about the kind of peripheral devices you connect to your amp and always check out their specs before you plug them in. Never connect speaker cabinets with an impedance (ohm) rating lower than the PURETONE is designed to handle. 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.

4.0TROUBLESHOOTING

1) The PURETONE won't power up when you switch it on:

It's not getting AC power. Check the mains cable to see if it is connected properly!

The mains fuse is defective. Replace the fuse with another fuse of the same type. If this fuse also blows, be sure to talk to your local Hughes & Kettner dealer.

2)The PURETONE is connected properly, but no sound is audible.

• One or several GAIN or MASTER controls are turned all the way down. Dial in higher settings.

• A shorted external speaker cable caused one of the fuses to blow. Have a qualified technician change the fuse (ensure the replacement fuse bears the proper rating).
