Mains cable
Ensure that your unit is switched off and that the vol-
ume control on the pre-amplifier or integrated ampli-
fier is at its minimum.
Please note that your Exposure 3010S Power Ampli-
fier may take up to 48 hours to "run-in" before reach-
ing its optimal performance. Each subsequent "run-in"
will then take about 20 minutes.
The Exposure 3010S Power Amplifier has a heat sen-
sor which will automatically switch off the power am-
plifier section when an abnormally high temperature
is reached. To reset the output, switch off the amplifier
and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
For optimum performance,
use Exposure speaker cables with your Exposure equipment.
