BEFORE SWITCHING ON

After unpacking your amplifier check that it is factory fitted with a three pin 

'grounded' (or earthed) plug.  Before plugging into the power supply ensure 

you are connecting to a grounded earth outlet.

If you should wish to change the factory fitted plug yourself, ensure that the 
wiring convention applicable to the country where the amplifier is to be used is 
strictly conformed to.  As an example in the United Kingdom the cable colour 
code for connections are as follows.

NOTE

This manual has been written for easy access of information.  The front and 
rear panels are graphically illustrated, with each control and feature 
numbered.  For a description of the function of each control feature, simply 
check the number with the explanations adjacent to each panel.

Your Laney amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery 
inspection, involving actual play testing.
When you first receive your Laney guitar amplifier, follow these simple 
procedures:

(i) Ensure that the amplifier is the correct voltage for the country it is to be 
used in.

ii) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable.  
You have probably spent considerable money on your amplifier and guitar - 
don’t use poor quality cable it won’t do your gear justice.

Please retain your original carton and packaging so in the unlikely event 
that some time in the future your amplifier should require servicing you will 
be able to return it to your dealer securely packed.

Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!

 When using electric products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the

 

 following.

1.

  Read all safety and operating instructions before using this product

2.

  The product should be powered by a three pin `grounded (or earthed) plug connected to a power socket with a grounded earth outlet.

3.

  All safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference

4.

  Obey all cautions in the Operating instructions and on the back of the unit

5.

  All operating instructions should be followed

6.

  This product should not be used near water, i.e. a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.

7.

  This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built   

up enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air.

8.

  This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat producing  amplifier.

9.

  Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

10.

Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord. 

11.

Power supply cords should always be handled carefully.  Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of 

stress, especially at the plug and the point where the chord exits the unit.

12.

The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.

13.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

14.

The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable.

15.

Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp cloth or ammonia based household cleaner if 

necessary. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.   

16.

Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any ventilation holes or openings.  On no account place drinks 

on the unit.

17.

A qualified service technician should check the unit if:

18.

The user should not attempt to service the equipment.  All service work is done by a qualified service technician.

19.

 Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss.  Individuals vary considerably in 

susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently 
intense noise for a sufficient time.  The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has 
specified the following permissible noise level exposure. (See oposite).
      According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the permissible limits could result in some hearing loss.  Ear plugs 
or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to 
prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above.  To ensure against potentially 
dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable 
of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this 
unit is in operation.

The power cord has been damaged

!

Anything has fallen or spilled into the unit
