Setting up the GS2-158D
WARNING!
To avoid electrical shock or any other damage, make sure that the GS2-158D
and all other devices are switched off before you start connecting them to the
amplifi er!
Power Connections/Mains
Before connecting to a grounded power outlet, make
sure the power switches are in the off position (facing
down). The GS2-158D is set up for 230 V of line
voltage. Once the amplifi er is plugged in, you can
get started!
Connecting an electric guitar
The input jack on the left side of the frontpanel receives
your electric guitar signal by means of a shielded
guitar cord with 1/4” mono style plug. Make sure
the master volume of the amplifi er is set to the lowest
position to avoid disturbing noise while connecting.
Speaker protection
The GS2-158D has a built-in 8” speaker. It can be
damaged by heavy feedbacks of the connected
instruments. You should always keep a suffi cient
distance to the amplifi er to avoid such feedbacks. This
will extend the life of the speaker and the power amp.
Travelling Abroad
If travelling to countries outside the EU, always check
their local voltage before operating the GS2-158D.
Mismatched voltages can and most likely will destroy
your amplifi er. Should you encounter voltages and
frequencies other than those indicated, a transformer
must be used between the power socket and the GS2-
158D. This transformer must be able to transform
the voltage and frequency to one of the indicated
settings.
Main Fuse
The main fuse is situated in a little drawer which is
part of the power input jack. This sliding fuse holder
also hides a spare fuse. For 230 V, the fuse must be
a 0,5A slow blow. It is crucially important to use the
specifi ed fuse values only.
Maintenance
All checkups and repairs must be undertaken
by
authorized service personnel. With the right
treatment, the electric circuit and the power amp will
not need any kind of maintenance at all.
