Diagnosis / Solution: 

1. Disconnect the power adapter from the rear of the Lino C.

2. Disconnect the input signal connections.

3. Reconnect the power adapter to the rear of the Lino C. Insure that it is fully engaged in the Lino. 

Do 

not use force, the barrel plug should slide in easily. If it does not, check the alignment and try again.

4. Insure that the power adapter is connected to the AC utility line, and that the figure-8 AC power cord 
connector is securely inserted into the power adapter.

5.

If the clicking continues: 

Activate CHARGE LOCK mode.

6. Allow the Lino C to charge for an hour with the signal input connections disconnected, then perform 
the steps listed below under Diagnosing Excessive Signal Connection Noise.

Note: Battery charging to 95% capacity takes about 8 hours if the battery has become fully discharged.

Generally, fully charging the battery takes about 1/2 of the time the Lino C has been driven with an input 
signal, to replenish the battery charge that was used.

Diagnosing Excessive Signal Connection Noise

1. Connect the signal input connections (if they were previously disconnected).

2. Connect the power adapter to the rear of the Lino C to power it on.

3. There are two “state” LEDs on the underside of the Lino C. The BLUE LED indicates that the circuitry 
is powered up. The other GREEN LED indicates a signal is present.

The GREEN LED should be off when you are not playing an LP.

4. If the GREEN LED illuminates when you are not playing an LP or doing something that could cause an 
input signal, e.g., cleaning the stylus, activate the STANDBY Mode using the external STANDBY switch. 
Wait 5 seconds, then deactivate STANDBY Mode. The Lino C will power up.

The GREEN LED should be off, and stay off (wait for 10 seconds for the Lino C to complete its power up 
sequence).

If not, and the 

GREEN LED

 stays extinguished only with the signal inputs disconnected

 (follow 

the   steps   listed   under   Solution   above),   there   is   an   issue   with   the   signal   connections   to   the 
turntable that 

must

 be corrected for the Lino C to operate properly. 

Please contact Channel D if 

you need assistance.

In the meantime, only operate the Lino C with the CHARGE LOCK Mode activated. This will 
insure that the battery doesn’t become excessively discharged.
