Operating Voltage

The Proceed AMP 2 and AMP 3 are factory-set for 100V, 120V, 220V, or 240V AC
mains operation at either 50 or 60Hz, according to the country for which the unit
was manufactured. (

230V in European Union countries, in compliance with CE

regulations.

) Make sure that the label on the bottom of the AMP indicates the

correct AC operating voltage for your location. The operating voltage cannot be
changed by the user, and any attempt to do so will void the warranty.

If the voltage indicated does not match the service in your area, see your Pro-
ceed dealer.
