Surely you are already a satisfied owner of an Audionet device. With the external power supply AMPERE you have the possibility to provide all connected units with a more sophisticated foundation.
• Please transport the AMPERE only in the included package. • Always use the plastic bag to prevent scratches on the casing. • Please allow the AMPERE to adapt to the climatic conditions in your listening room before you switch on the unit for the first time after transport.
Placement Important • Place the AMPERE right beside or at least 30 cm above or below of the mother unit. • It is recommended to place the AMPERE into a high quality rack or onto a stable table.
• The electrical specifications of your home country must meet the electrical specifications printed on the back panel. • The AMPERE is a Class I unit and must be earthed. Please ensure a stable earth connection. • To ensure the best sonic experience, please make sure that the 'hot' pin of...
Connecting the mother unit An AMPERE connection cable with a 5-pin or 7-pin connector (depending on the mother unit) is required to connect the AMPERE to a mother unit. The following table provides further details: AMPERE cable with AMPERE cable with...
Important • Never pull the mains cord while the AMPERE or the mother unit is switched on! Before you pull the mains plug, power down the mother unit to stand-by mode and switch off the AMPERE with the mains switch on the back panel.

Note • Please consult the user's manual of the mother device for further information on starting up an Audionet unit with a 5-pin connector in combination with an AMPERE.
Protection system Your Audionet AMPERE is equipped with a powerful protection system that safe- guards the mother unit as well as itself. The AMPERE indicates any error by flash- ing the status LED on the front panel. The following flash code: ÄÄ_ÄÄ_ÄÄ_ÄÄ...
• The output voltage is not long term stable as well. The output voltage of an accumulator is highly dependent from its state of charge and usage history, typically ranging from 23 V to 28 V. The AMPERE provides 24.00 V – always at any time.
• Do not open the unit. Unauthorised opening will void warranty! • Do not short-circuit the outputs! • While connecting or removing the AMPERE to or from the mother unit, both AMPERE and mother unit must be switched off completely to prevent any damage to both devices.
