Getting Started
Now that you installed the SoftMax Pro Software on the computer, unpacked the
instrument, removed the transport locks, and connected the cables, it is time to get
started. The power switch and power connection are on the rear of the instrument.
To ensure sufficient ventilation and provide access to disconnect power from the
instrument, maintain a 20 cm to 30 cm (7.9 in. to 11.8 in.) gap between the rear of the
instrument and the wall.
To turn the instrument on or off, press the power switch to place the rocker in the on or
off position.
