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 indicating the mode currently
selected.
The testing modes are not intended for
continued operation. Use GLM software to
set up permanent settings for 1238AC.
Safety Considerations
The 1238AC has been designed in
accordance with international safety
standards. To ensure continued safe
operation and to maintain the monitor under
safe operating conditions, the following
warnings and precautions must be observed:
1. Servicing and adjustment must only
be performed by qualified service
personnel. The monitor enclosure or
the amplifier enclosure must not be
opened.
2. Do not use this product with a
mains cable with no protective earth
conductor, or a mains connection

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 amplifier or near it.
5. Note that the amplifier is not
completely disconnected from the AC
mains service unless the mains power
cord is removed from the amplifier or
the mains outlet.
6. Free flow of air around the amplifier
is necessary to maintain sufficient
cooling. Do not obstruct airflow
around the amplifier.
