We take this opportunity to thank you for buying this product.
We recommend you read the instruction manual before switching on the machine and follow the instructions
that are given. eep the manual for future reference.
SECURI Y AND HE ENVIRONMEN
ELECTRICAL SECURITY
Check that the current in the mains connection where the machine is to be installed corresponds to the
power supply of the machine.
To avoid damaging the equipment, electrical shocks, fire or physical injury when you connect or disconnect
the equipment from the power supply, pull the plug firmly out of the mains socket holding the plug, never the
cable.
Always do this with dry hands.
eep the power supply cable far from sources of heat. Do not put heavy objects on top of it or change it.
Clean dust and dirt off the power supply cable regularly.
Do not open the machine; you could get an electric shock.
CAUTION
While installing the machine, make sure it is switched off and unplugged.
Do not open the machine. Touching the internal parts is dangerous and you could receive an electric shock.
The machine must not be splashed or dripped on. Never place recipients with liquid inside on the machine.
Do not place anything inside the machine.
LOCATION
Place the equipment on a horizontal surface with enough space around it to allow ventilation.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and excessive dust.
Do not place the machine near magnetic fields or static electricity.
Do not use surfaces which vibrate or receive impact.
Do not pile machines on top of one another.
VENTILATION
Never block or cover the ventilation slits on the machine.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it near sources of heat.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
When the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
If you are using an adapter, take into account that it will continue using electricity even if the machine is
switched off. If it is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
THE ENVIRONMENT
To save energy, switch the machine off when you are not going to use it for a long time. The machine could
contain substances that are harmful to the environment or human health. To minimize the effect of these
substances the machine must be correctly managed and recycled when you decide to dispose of it.
When you dispose of it remember: it cannot be thrown into a conventional rubbish bin.
If it contains or uses batteries, these must be disposed of separately.
The machine (without batteries) must be disposed of correctly. Put it in a container specially intended for the
collection of electronic and electrical appliances, at the dump or hand it over to the dealer when you purchase
similar equipment, so that the dealer can dispose of it correctly (at no added cost).

SIGNIFICANCE OF HE SYMBOLS ON HE MACHINE*
The symbol formed by the expression “Class 1 laser product” written in a rectangle
indicates that visible or invisible laser radiation could be produced. Avoid direct exposure
to the laser.
The symbol formed by a ray of lightening inside a triangle shows that the machine has
connection terminals or a circuit with areas with a current which could cause an electric
shock, even in normal working conditions.
The symbol formed by an exclamation mark in a triangle shows that the instruction manual
must be referred to for information on how the machine works and its use.
The symbol formed by one square inside another square shows that the machine has
double electrical insulation.
The European Community symbol shows that the machine complies with the current
European Union legislation, as well as its transposition to local legislation.
The symbol of a rubbish bin crossed out and over a horizontal line shows that when the
product is disposed of it must be done properly, placing it in a special selective electronic
and electrical equipment container or through a dealer when purchasing a similar product,
at no additional cost. It also shows that the machine was put on the market after 13th
August 2005 (European Community Directive 2002/96/CE of Electrical and Electronic
recycling, and its Spanish equivalent R.D.208/2005).
In accordance with what is set out in the aforementioned decree, FONESTAR is registered
in the RAEE (Registro de Aparatos Eléctricos y Electrónicos) in a special section REI
(Registro de establecimientos Industriales), with the entry number 001851.
*It is possible that some of these symbols do not appear on the machine.

CONNEC ION
- Before making any connections make sure that the devices are switched off and disconnected from the
mains.
- Check that each channel’s controls and the MAIN L/R output level controls are at their minimum.
- Connect the required devices to the channel inputs, use the XLR connector if it is a dynamic microphone
or the jack connector if it is a line level input.
- Regulate the level of the inputs with the GAIN control and if necessary, the signal can be attenuated with
the PAD control, so that the LED PEA indicator lights up occasionally. If the LED indicator lights up
constantly, reduce the signal level with the GAIN and/or PAD control.
- The auxiliary SEND can be used to connect an external audio processor. The processor output can be
connected to the mixer via the auxiliary RETURN.
- Connect a USB device with FAT32 format or an SD memory card with MP3 archives to the corresponding
port of the MP3 player.
- Connect the loudspeakers to the SPEA ERS output located in the rear panel of the mixer. Take into
consideration the power supplied by the device. The resulting impedance of the loudspeakers varies
according to the way in which it is connected. Be sure to maintain the power and resulting impedance at
the value specified or higher. The power offered according to the impedance is as follows.
350 W + 350 W at 4 Ω
250 W + 250 W at 8 Ω
If connecting 2 loudspeakers, one in each channel, the loudspeakers can be of 4-8 Ω. If connecting
4 loudspeakers, two in each channel, the loudspeakers must be of 8 Ω.
- Connect the devices to the power supply.
- If extra amplification is required, connect the STEREO OUT output to a line level input of an amplifier. If
you wish, the REC output can be connected to a line level input for recording applications.
- Switch on the devices in this order: firstly the periphery devices, followed by the powered mixer
SMA-12800U and finally the external amplifier.
- Adjust the volume and equalization using the knobs and sliding controls for each channel.
- Adjust the MAIN mix bus output level with the volume controls MAIN L/R.
