FOR EquIpMENT ThAT cONNEcTS TO ThE pOwER MAINS:
22. CAUTION: If the power cord of the device is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be
connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of a
power cord.
23. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after
transport), do not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equip-
ment. Do not switch on the equipment until it has reached room temperature.
24. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first verify that the mains voltage and
frequency match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection
switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains
power values match. If the included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet,
contact your electrician.
25. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable does not become kinked,
especially at the mains outlet and/or power adapter and the equipment connector.
26. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power cord or power adapter is always
freely accessible. Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply if the equipment
is not in use or if you want to clean the equipment. Always unplug the power cord and power
adapter from the power outlet at the plug or adapter and not by pulling on the cord. Never touch
the power cord and power adapter with wet hands.
27. Whenever possible, avoid switching the equipment on and off in quick succession because
otherwise this can shorten the useful life of the equipment.
28. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Replace fuses only with fuses of the same type and rating. If a fuse
blows repeatedly, please contact an authorised service centre.
29. To disconnect the equipment from the power mains completely, unplug the power cord or power
adapter from the power outlet.
30. If your device is equipped with a Volex power connector, the mating Volex equipment connector
must be unlocked before it can be removed. However, this also means that the equipment can
slide and fall down if the power cable is pulled, which can lead to personal injuries and/or other
damage. For this reason, always be careful when laying cables.
31. Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if there is a risk of a lightning
strike or before extended periods of disuse.
CAUTION

ENVIRONMENTAL pROTEcTION AND ENERGY cONSERVATION
Energy conservation is an active contribution to environmental protection. Please turn off all unneeded elec-
trical devices. To prevent unneeded devices from consuming power in standby mode, disconnect the mains
plug.
ScOpE OF AppLIcATION
A DI box (DI stands for direct injection) is used to feed the electronic signal of a musical instrument
directly into the microphone input of a mixing console or into a stagebox, thus avoiding any detours
due to acoustic conversion (speaker/microphone). In addition to adjusting the volume level, the DI
box ensures that the input signal is converted and balanced at low impedance. Thus, the signal is
less susceptible to noise interference and cable losses. All Palmer DI boxes also allow for galvanic
isolation between input and output, since they use an audio transmitter. However, you should not
use a passive DI box to separate electrically isolated line signals, because for technical reasons,
the translation will not be 1:1. In this case, it is better to use a Line Isolation Box (e.g. Palmer PLI01,
PLI02, PLI03, PLI04, PLI05, PLI06 etc. ).

uSER INTERFAcE

cONNEcTORS
Using shielded mono jack cables, connect the unbalanced outputs of the musical instrument to the
inputs of the PAN04. The sockets, labelled Thru, allow looping of the original signal, e.g.in order to
connect to an amplifier on stage. Using shielded microphone cables, connect the stagebox/microphone
inputs of the mixer to the XLR/m sockets, labelled Balanced Out.
ATTENuATOR
This switch allows the attenuation of high input signals by 30 dB. For all signals up to +6 dBu (line
level), use the 0 db position of the attenuator. If you want to remove a speaker signal, i.e. position the DI
box between the amplifier and the speaker box, use the -30 db switch position. Generally speaking, you
should set the attenuator so that a reasonable level at the microphone input is present.
GROuND LIFT SwITch
As mentioned above, the design of the PAN04 conditions the galvanic isolation between input and
output. (Galvanic separation means that there is no electrically conductive connection. The coupling of
the signals in the transmitter is based on magnetic induction). The galvanic isolation prevents ground
loops, which occur by double grounding (e.g. an instrument on a grounded European Schuko plug, and
a grounded mixer). In the simplest case, the ground lift switch should be operated by ear. As a rule of
thumb, for devices that are grounded via their power supply, the switch should be placed in the LIFT
position and for battery powered instruments, the GND position should be used.
