SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Please
refer servicing to qualified personnel.
•To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.
•Do not impose unnecessary stress on your equipment (i.e. placing heavy objects on it, overscrewing its
mounting etc).
•Read and keep the instruction manuals in a safe place for future references.
•Do not attempt to clean the equipment with chemical solvents as this may damage the finish. Clean only
with dry cloth.
•Do not block any ventilation openings.
•Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that
produce heat.
•Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the grounding prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
•Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
•Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when it is not in use for a long period of time.

•Use only attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.
•Always shut down power supply when not in use to save energy and for prolonged lifespan.
•Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary
considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if
exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the
following chart. According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in
some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is
recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels
use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or
over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if
exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

This is the master switch for GECKO® GALILEE CLASSIC PSC 8330. Power up the GECKO® GALILEE
CLASSIC PSC 8330 by pushing in the switch. The power icon on the switch lights up (white) when the button
is in “pushed-in” position. This initiates a POWER ON sequence (LINE 1 to 8) for the rear outlets. Unpressed
the switch initiates a POWER OFF sequence (LINE 8 to 1). In POWER OFF sequence, the power icon on
the switch stays lit until all the rear outlets are completely sequenced off.
2. POWER LED INDICATOR
This POWER LED lights up red when the GECKO® GALILEE CLASSIC PSC 8330 is connected to an
external 220VAC ~ 240VAC, 50Hz/60Hz electrical supply.
3. LINE 1 TO 8 LED INDICATORS
The LINE 1 to 8 LED indicators, on the front panel, indicates the respective rear panel universal AC outlet's
power (ON/OFF) status. The LED lights up (green) when the relevant AC outlet is active (ON).
4. ANALOGUE VOLTMETER
This analogue voltmeter is for real time AC mains monitoring. It lights up blue when the GECKO® GALILEE
CLASSIC PSC 8330 is connected to an external 220VAC ~ 240VAC, 50Hz/60Hz electrical supply.
