Genelec-approved cloth grilles are available. 

Testing Mode

Once on, when the power button is pressed 
for a long time, the RAM-L enters a mode for 
system testing. This special mode is intended 
for system debugging and testing. When the 
RAM-L is turned off, the special mode is 
reset. Upon restarting the RAM-L the current 
standard settings stored by GLM software 
are restored. 

Test mode selection blinks the power 

button light (see Table 2). A special mode 
is activated by a long press on the power 
button. In a special mode the power button 
light remains on but blinks off 1-4 times indi-
cating the mode currently selected. 

The testing modes are not intended for 

continued operation. Use GLM software to set 
up permanent settings for 1237A and 1238A.  

Safety Considerations

The 1237A and 1238A have been designed 
in accordance with international safety stand-
ards. To ensure continued safe operation and 
to maintain the monitor under safe operating 
conditions, the following warnings and pre-
cautions must be observed:

1.  Servicing and adjustment must only be 

performed by qualified service person-
nel. The monitor enclosure or the ampli-
fier enclosure must not be opened.

2.  Do not use this product with a mains 

cable with no protective earth conduc-
tor, or a mains connection without the 
protective earth contact, as this may 
lead to personal injury.

3.  To prevent fire or electric shock, do not 

expose the unit to water or moisture. 

4.  Do not place any objects filled with 

liquid, such as vases or water pipes on 
the monitor or near it. 

5.  Note that the amplifier is not completely 

disconnected from the AC mains ser-
vice unless the mains power cord is 
removed from the amplifier or the mains 
outlet.

6.  Free flow of air behind the monitor is 

necessary to maintain sufficient cool-
ing. Do not obstruct airflow around the 
monitors.

WARNING! 

The Genelec 1237A and 1238A monitors are 
capable of producing sound pressure levels 
in excess of 85 dB, which may cause perma-
nent hearing damage.

Figure 6. Pull out the left side of the 
amplifier and detach the flat cable from 
the enclosure.

Figure 7. Remove the flat cable cover 
plate and detach the flat cable connector. 
Reattach the cover plate.

Figure 8. Remove the front mounting 
ears.

Figure 9. Attach the angled 
rack mount ears. 

Figure 10. Attach the front 
plate.
