Warning
Under no circumstances should the ground pin on
the Passport or on any of your electrical equipment
be lifted. It is possible that under certain
circumstances a combination of different types of
ungrounded equipment can create a life threatening
shock hazard. Microphones have metal cases and
are connected through the mic cable to the mixer’s
chassis. Your Passport mixer may be correctly
grounded if the building’s wiring is to code and the
ground pin on the A/C plug is properly connected.
However if for any reason external A/C powered
equipment with ungrounded A/C connections are
used in conjunction with the Passport system (e.g. an
ungrounded music amplifier), there may be a
difference in potential to the microphone case. With
this combination a performer holding a (grounded)
microphone coming into contact with an ungrounded
item of powered equipment may be subject to
dangerous electrical shocks.
By following the correct procedures and safety
precautions, risks of severe shock hazard can be
minimized. Always check the A/C connection and
particularly the voltage between the microphone and
any other A/C equipment. Best of all, avoid operating
the system in conjunction with ungrounded or
improperly grounded electrical equipment.
To open and close your Passport system, simply
follow these guidelines:
1. Place your finger tip under the safety latch and
gently lift. When the safety latch has disengaged, lift
the main latch to remove the speaker.
2. Position the speaker on the tower foot and bring
the speaker in to close the engagement with the
tower and latch. Position the main latch hook over
the speaker notch and close the main handle. The
safety latch will automatically engage.
Note: These parts are precision engineered and no
force is needed to secure them. Careful alignment of
parts will ensure easy operation.
