POWER
–
Power from the internal 9-volt battery is activated by plugging into the INPUT jac . The input
cable should be removed when the unit is not in use to avoid running down the battery.
The barrel connector on the front of the CHILLSWITCH is for a 9-volt battery eliminator
capable of delivering at least 25 mA of current. The optional 9V power supply from Electro-
Harmonix is 9.6DC-200BI (same as used by Boss™ & Ibanez™) 9.6 Volts DC 200mA. The
power supply must have a barrel connector with center negative. The unit’s battery may be
left in or ta en out when the eliminator is in use. The actual current draw of the
CHILLSWITCH is 12.5 mA.
To change the 9-volt battery, remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the CHILLSWITCH.
Once the screws are removed, ta e off the bottom plate and change the battery. Please do
not touch the circuit board or you ris damaging a component.
