18. POWER CONNECTION

Just in case you lose the cord provided with the 1202-
VLZ3, its power jack accepts a standard 3-prong IEC
cord like those found on most professional recorders,
musical instruments, and computers.
WARNING: Before you plug the AC power
cord into the 1202-VLZ3, you must make sure
that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR [20] slide
switch is set to the same voltage as your local AC mains
supply.
WARNING: Disconnecting the plug's ground
pin can be dangerous. Please don't do it.

19. FUSE

The 1202-VLZ3 is fused for your (and its own) protec-
tion. If you suspect a blown fuse, disconnect the cord,
pull the fuse drawer out (located just below the cord
receptacle) and replace the fuse with a 500 mA (0.5
amps) SLO BLO 5x20mm, available at electronics stores
or your dealer. Use a 250 mA fuse if your local voltage is
220-240 VAC.
If two fuses blow in a row, something is very wrong.
Please call our toll-free number 1-800-898-3211 from
within the U.S. (or the distributor in your country) and
fi nd out what to do.

20. VOLTAGE SELECTOR

WARNING: Before you plug the AC power
cord into the 1202-VLZ3, you must make sure
that this slide switch is set to the same volt-
age as your local AC main supply. Only slide the voltage
switch with the power cord unplugged.
Use a fl at headed screwdriver to slide the switch if
needed. The switch allows you to use the mixer in differ-
ent countries and voltages, meet interesting people from
other cultures, and entertain them with your unique
blend of Rockabilly Funkadelia Thrash Metal.

21. POWER SWITCH

Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on
the mixer. The power LED on the top surface of the mix-
er will glow with happiness, or at least it will if you have
the mixer plugged in to 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 Mad Mike's Heavy Metal guitar solo
might not be such a good time.
As a general guide, you should turn on your mixer
fi rst, before the power amplifi er or powered speakers,
and turn it off last. This will reduce the possibilities of
any turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers.

22. PHANTOM SWITCH

This global rocker switch controls the phantom power
supply for condenser microphones plugged into channel
MIC [1] inputs (see page 8).
Press the top of the switch inwards to engage phan-
tom power to the four MIC inputs. Press the bottom of
the switch to turn it off.
When turned on (or off), the phantom power circuitry
takes a few moments for voltage to ramp up (or down).
This is perfectly normal. Just like me. Oh, and my imagi-
nary friend Lazlo who helps me write all the manuals.
Say hello to the nice folks Lazlo.
