Bottom of Chassis: Battery Power Supply Auxiliary Settings / Optional Signal Modifier and Input Selector Switches 
(viewing bottom bottom front edge with Lino C upside-down)

Front Panel (with Optional Engraved Labelling and LED Indicators)

(7) Optional signal conditioning and additional inputs:

 Input selector and signal modifier settings are 

activated via silky smooth positive-action soft blue LED illuminated switches mounted underneath and 
along the front edge of the chassis, flush with the bottom of the bottom panel. The power supply auxiliary 
settings are operated by non-illuminated switches with a different tactile feel.

Mirror style labels are provided underneath along the front edge so that the switch labels can be viewed 
with a small mirror. A mnemonic card also is provided showing the switch locations.

Front panel function labelling and LED indicators are available as an option. LEDs are illuminated Blue 
with the function active and Green with the function off. The front panel LED indicators automatically 
adjust   brightness   in   response   to   ambient   light   levels,   becoming   quite   dim   in   a   darkened   room.  The 
standard   Lino   C   3.0   is   supplied   without   the   indicators   and   engraved   labels   for   those   who   prefer   an 
uncluttered front panel.

Battery Power Supply Auxiliary Settings

• STANDBY:

 Minimizes idle power consumption while keeping the battery fully charged. This 

will power down the amplifier circuitry except for the battery charging and maintenance circuitry.

In   OTG   Mode,   operating   the   STANDBY   switch   will   completely   power   down   the   Lino   C. 
Otherwise, this would require unplugging the power adapter from the back of the Lino C to 
power down. See Off The Grid Mode for more information.

Important: 

reduce the playback volume or power down the rest of your audio system before 

engaging or disengaging STANDBY mode to avoid any transient noises.

•   CHARGE   LOCK:

  Prevents   the   battery   charging   circuit   and   power   adapter   from   being 

disconnected. The battery will be kept fully charged.

Use this setting if you wish to operate your Lino C for extended periods of time, such as for 
component break-in. It also is used if the battery becomes depleted during a listening session, to 
keep the charging circuit from cycling on and off.
