use percentage value. When a new filter is used reset the filter use percentage value. To do this, press
the Reset button on the front panel once, or use the Xtralis QSC software.

2. Tilt the new filter and align to the insertion guides (Figure 8-5) and lower filter into place.

Figure 8-5: Filter insertion

3. Reposition the retaining bracket, or for units with retaining clips, realign the clips with the magnets

(Figure 8-3, C and D).

4. Tighten the retaining screws using a Philips head screwdriver.
