NanoBass Reference Manual
Power
Included with your NanoBass is a “wall-wart” style power adapter which is
already set for the voltage of the country your unit was shipped to. Connecting it
is simple: just insert the prongs on the wall-wart end into an electrical outlet, and
the single plug on the adapter end into the 9VAC~ POWER jack on the
NanoBass’s back panel.
That’s all it takes. Be aware, though, that there is no ON/OFF switch on the
NanoBass. Whenever it is plugged into an active outlet, the unit is on. (To check
this, look at the POWER indicator LED on the front panel. It will glow whenever
your NanoBass is getting electricity.)
Leaving your NanoBass on all the time won’t hurt it. You won’t use up much
electricity, either, since the NanoBass operates on a miniscule amount of power.
If you’d prefer to turn the unit off when you aren’t working with it, instead of
leaving it on, there’s a simple solution. Plug the unit into a power strip with a
built-in ON/OFF switch, and use the power strip switch to turn off the juice when
required.
