SAFETY HINTS
- Please read these instructions
- Please heed all warnings
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not open the amplifier’s case. Avoid exposure to
rain or moisture. No user serviceable parts inside,
refer all service to a qualified technician. No
vessel filled with liquids, such as vases shall be
placed on top of the unit.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to
the presence of dangerous non-insulated voltage
inside the case. Risk of electric shock!
This symbol, wherever it appears, indicates to
important operating and maintenance instruct-
ions in this user manual. Please read the manual.
This recycling logo informs the end user that it is
forbidden to throw away the product in the trash.
It has to be disposed of accordingly.

GENERAL INFORMATION
For safe and reliable operation please follow these instructions:
•DO NOT open the amplifier case! You might receive an electrical shock. For any repair refer to qualified service personnel.
•Avoid dust, excessive moisture, direct sunlight and extremely high or low temperatures.
•Safeguard the device from impact. Always place the unit on a stable and horizontal surface.
•Do not block any of the ventilation openings.
•Avoid leaving the unit near radiators or other heat producing devices.
•Internal components should be adjusted or cleaned by qualified service technicians only. Make sure no object or liquid pene-
trates the device through its cooling vents.
•Fuse must be replaced with one of the same type and value to avoid damaging the amplifier.
•the mains cable or mains switch have been damaged,
•objects or liquids have penetrated the device,
•it has been exposed to excessive moisture,
•malfunctions or abnormal operating conditions have occurred,
•the device has been dropped or the case has been damaged.
Have the device examined by a qualified service technician in the following cases:
- Make sure the unit is plugged into a socket outlet with a protective grounding connection.
- Mains plug must be accessible at any time to disconnect it from mains in case of abnormal operation.
- If the device shows any malfunction, immediately disconnect the mains cable from the mains socket.
- Use effects pedals only between the instrument and the amplifier since these devices do not meet the electrical specifications
of the effects loop.
- Unplug the unit whenever changing a fuse.
- Replace fuse only with one of the same type and value. Never bridge defective fuses.

PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS
Your new Warwick amplifier is equipped with a series of circuits to prevent it from destruction in case of inadequate operating
conditions:
PPoowweerr--uuppddeellaayy::When the unit is switched on, the SPEAKER OUT sockets are activated with a slight delay to protect the
loudspeakers.
SShhoorrtt--cciirrccuuiitt:In the event of a short-circuit at the power amp outputs, this feature prevents the output stage transistors
from destruction by a fast responding current limitation.
DDiirreeccttccuurrrreenntt((DDCC))::This circuit continuously monitors the power amp output for direct current and protects the loudspeakers
from overload in case a transistor burns out.
HHFFoosscciillllaattiioonn::This safety feature prevents from damages caused by frequencies above 20 kHz (feedback, etc.) by
switching the power amp off.
TTeemmppeerraattuurree::Should the temperature controlled fan cooler prove to be insufficient in extreme conditions, this circuit
protects the output stage transistors from destruction by switching the device off.
LLiimmiitte
err::In order to protect the loudspeakers the combos CL and CCL are equipped with a limiter that limits the
power amp outputs to 200 watts and 300 watts respectively.
NNoottee::One of the protective circuits is active when you find the MUTE LED is lit without having switched MUTE on.
MMUUTTEELLEEDDis continuously on even though you have not switched on MUTE. In case of a short-circuit please check the speaker
cable. The amplifier must then be switched off and on again, to get back into playing mode after having removed the short-cir-
cuit. In any other situation the amplifier automatically switches back to playing mode as soon as it detects the fault has disappea-
red (e.g. the amplifier has overheated and cooled down again).
GETTING STARTED
1. Make sure that loudspeakers capable of sustaining the load of a bass signal are connected to the SSPPEEAAKKEERROOUUTTsockets,
meaning the speaker unit should be linked to the SSPPEEAAKKEERROOUUTTat the combos.
2. Make sure that the mains lead is connected and all external devices (effects) are properly connected and working.
3. Set the MMAASSTTEERRcontrol to zero.
4. Plug your bass guitar into the amplifier's IINNPPUUTTwith a shielded line-cable.
5. Press the
PPOOWWEERRswitch to turn the device on.
6. Switch off MMUUTTEE- the red LED will turn off.
7. Switch the
LLIIMMIITTEERRoff (the 2-colored LED will turn off).
8. Turn up all volume controls of your bass guitar.
9. Adjust the
GGAAIINNcontrol until the clip LED flashes.
10. Set the
MMAASSTTEERRcontrol to your desired volume.
11. Use the sound controls / switches to adjust the sound as described in the respective chapters FRONT PANEL CONTROLS.
12. If necessary readjust GGAAIINN.
13. Use the LLIIMMIITTE
ERR(LED green) to limit the preamp signal and fix its threshold (LED switches to red) using the GAIN control.
