Enable Switches, SW6 & SW7

SW6 must be enabled.

Do not enable SW7

Do not confuse this switch from

SW6 on the main circuit board!

Switches come from the factory disabled.

Note that the board is installed upside-down. Pay close attention when setting
switches. Figure 2.36 shows the amplifier in its installed position, not the
actual silk-screening on the board.

FAIL TEST Switch, SW4

This switch is not used. It should always be set to “Normal”.
