1. POWER CONNECTION

This jack accepts the supplied 3-prong IEC AC power
cord.
Before you plug the AC power cord into the
powered mixer, make sure that the voltage of
your unit is the same voltage as your local AC
mains supply. Use only the power cord supplied. Also,
disconnecting the plug's ground pin is dangerous. Please
don't do it.

2. POWER SWITCH

Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on
the mixer. The front panel power LED [35] will glow
with happiness, or at least it will if you have the mixer
plugged into a suitable live AC mains supply.
Press the bottom of this switch to turn off the mixer,
whenever you feel that this would be a safe thing to do.
Half-way through a heavy metal guitar solo might not be
such a good time.
As a general guide, you should turn on your
mixer first, before any external power
amplifiers or powered speakers, and turn it off
last. This will reduce the possibilities of any
turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers.
