Changing the Polarity 

 

To change the polarity of either channel, A or B, locate the “red knobs” on the left side-panel (see Figure 4.8) and place the 
module flat on a table showing the side-panel. Gently adjust the slit of the “red knob” to the desired polarity using either an 

adequate screwdriver or a coin. Please make sure that the screwdriver is not tilted. 

Do not press on the knob! Do not use 

force! 

 The channel is adjusted if you hear and feel the lock in place.
