MC7.1

 - Surround Monitor Controller

The MC7.1 unit will be supplied with an external switching mode power supply that
is capable of 100-240Vac continuous (90-264Vac max) and so should work globally.

We strongly advise that the power supply that has been supplied with the MC7.1 is
used, rather than one with the equivalent ratings. In addition, should the power
supply fail for any reason we strongly advise that you contact Drawmer for a

replacement rather than repairing the unit yourselves. Failure to do either of these
could permanently damage the MC7.1 and will also invalidate the warranty.

The power supply will be supplied with cable suitable for domestic power outlets in
your country. For your own safety, it is important that you use this cable to connect to
the mains supply earth. The cable must not be tampered with or modified.

Before connecting the MC7.1 to the power supply ensure that all knobs are
turned off (i.e. fully anticlockwise) and that the Level Switch just below the main
volume control is set to Knob.

A switch next to the D.C. power inlet on the rear of the unit switches the power on/
off. Ensure that this is in the OFF position.

WARNING

DO NOT PLUG IN THE EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY WHILST THE POWER SWITCH
ON THE REAR OF THE MC7.1 IS IN THE ON POSITION.

POWER CONNECTION

PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING

To undergo a Portable Appliance Testing procedure (commonly known as "PAT",
"PAT Inspection" or "PAT Testing") use the screw that is located between the Talkback

and Speaker 3 jack connectors. This screw is connect directly to the chassis and
provides the earthing point.

SECURITY

To help protect the MC7.1 from theft the side has a Kensington Security Slot (also
called a K-Slot) which enables the fitting of hardware locking accessories that can

attach your MC7.1 to an immovable object, making the MC7.1 more of a challenge
for the potential thieves to steal.
