1.  Power Cord Inlet and Fuse Holder 

 

Power Cord Inlet - 

This unit is equipped with a removable I.E.C. power 

cord. Be sure to only use the power cord included with the unit, this 
cord is designed to match the electrical requirements of the unit. Other 
cords may cause the unit to overheat or malfunction. Voltage may vary 
from venue to venue, when connecting this unit to a power supply be 

sure to connect to a matching power outlet. Never use this fixture if 

the ground prong has been removed or broken off. The ground prong 

is designed to reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock in the event the 

unit suffers from an internal short.

Fuse Holder -

 This housing stores a 8 amp (4 amp 220v) GMA pro-

tective fuse. Never defeat the fuse, the fuse is designed to protect the 

electronics in the event of severe power fluctuations. Always be sure 
to replace the fuse with an exact match as the one being replaced, 

unless otherwise told to do so by an authorized American DJ
