FRFR-112A Guitar DSP 7 Safety instructions 2 Safety instructions Intended use This device is intended to be used for amplification and playback of signals from musical instruments with electromagnetic pickups. Any other use or use under other operating condi- tions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use. This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intellectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety. DANGER! Danger for children Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices. guitar combo 8 Safety instructions DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages inside Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged. DANGER! Electric shock caused by short-circuit Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro- tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis- tered electrician. FRFR-112A Guitar DSP 9 Safety instructions 10 CAUTION! Possible hearing damage The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use suffi- cient ear protectors. NOTICE! Risk of fire Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames. guitar combo Safety instructions NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire. NOTICE! Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse The use of different types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit. Fire hazard! Only fuses of the same type may be used.

Please note these advices, because especially in `Sound & Light' caution is indicated: Even if a plug fits into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed power amp, a short circuit or `just' in poor transmission quality! Balanced and unbalanced trans- mission Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hifi use. Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical representatives of the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding while the signal is trans- mitted through the core. Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at low levels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables. In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred, because this enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In addition to the conduc- tors `Ground' and `Signal', in a balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfers the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°. FRFR-112A Guitar DSP 25 Plug and connection assignment 1/4" TS phone plug (mono, unbalanced) Since the interference affects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter- ference. 1 Signal 2 Ground, shielding 1/4" TRS phone plug (mono, bal- anced) 1 2 3 Signal (in phase, +) Signal (out of phase, ) Ground guitar combo 26 XLR plug (balanced) XLR plug (unbalanced) Plug and connection assignment 1 Ground, shielding 2 Signal (in phase, +) 3 Signal (out of phase, ) 4 Shielding on plug housing (option) 1 Ground, shielding 2 Signal 3 Bridged to pin 1 FRFR-112A Guitar DSP 27 Cleaning 9 Cleaning Device components Clean the device components that are accessible from the outside regularly. The cleaning fre- quency depends on the operating environment: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environ- ments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the device components. n Clean with a dry soft cloth. n Stubborn dirt can be removed with a slightly dampened cloth. n Never use solvents or alcohol for cleaning. guitar combo 28 Protecting the environment 10 Protecting the environment Disposal of the packaging mate- rial For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling.
