Lost Keys
Lost keys can be replaced, as information is kept on file at the REDGUM
factory about every product we manufacture. If you provide us with
the serial number of your product (look under the amplifier, on the
carton, or on the final test report issued with the product), we can
provide you with another key. Just contact the factory with the details
and a replacement key will be sent by airmail the same day.

Thermal cut-off
For your convenience, there are no replaceable fuses in this amplifier.
The only overload devices are thermal. Internally, there are thermal
cut-offs that will shut down the amplifier if the heat sinks reach 80
degrees Centigrade. This would usually only happen if the speaker
leads remain ‘shorted’ for a period of time.
Should this occur, your amplifier will resume operation once it has
returned to normal operating temperature.
Circuit breaker
Additional protection for your equipment is built into the amplifier in
the form of a Circuit Breaker. Found on the rear panel of the chassis, it
is a rocker switch with RESET and OFF positions. (See also section –
Turning the amplifier on and off.)
In the (unlikely) event of a power overload or an internal malfunction,
the Circuit Breaker on the rear will activate (‘trip’). The switch will
automatically rock to the OFF position, and a red light will be seen
inside the rocker.
In the case of a power overload, rocking the switch to the RESET
position will turn on your amplifier again. When reset the red light will
turn off and you will hear a ‘thunk’ sound as the amplifier powers up.
However, in the event of an internal malfunction, resetting the switch
will not be possible. When the switch is rocked to the RESET position, it
will instantly flick back to the OFF position, and the red light will stay
‘on’. Should this occur, the amplifier will need professional service.
If in any doubt whatsoever, please consult your dealer.
