SERIAL NUMBER REVISION 1.Power Connection This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector. Connect the detachable power cord (included in the packaging with the loudspeaker) to the power receptacle, and plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet. 3.Fan Vents Do not obstruct the ventilation openings of the loudspeaker. Fans move air over the heatsinks to cool down the power transistors. If these vents are restricted, then the loudspeaker may overheat and shut down. Make sure that the AC power is matched to the AC power indicated on the rear panel (to the left of the IEC receptacle). Disconnecting the plug's ground pin is dangerous. Don't do it! 2.Power Switch Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on the loudspeaker. The front panel power LED will glow with happiness...or at least it will if the loudspeaker is plugged into a suitable live AC mains supply. Press the bottom of this rocker switch inwards to turn off the loudspeaker. 4. Kickstand The kickstand on the DLM loudspeaker works similarly to a kickstand on a bicycle. Simply pull the kickstand out until it locks in place. Now tilt the loudspeaker back so it leans on the kickstand. At a 50˚ angle (and aimed at your ears, not your knees), the kickstand is ideal for using the loudspeaker as a monitor. Bicycles aren't used as monitors, only as mains. Be careful not to unplug the unit when engaging the kickstand...unless you're into that sort of thing. As a general guide, DLM loudspeakers should be turned on last, after any mixer or other signal source. As such, they should also be turned off first. This will reduce the possibility of any turn-on or turn-off thumps and other noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming out of the speakers. 10 DLM8/12 Powered Loudspeakers
