SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The Fender Passport sound system is supplied
with a detachable power cable with an IEC
female connector and a male AC connector.
Depending on the territory in which the
Passport system is purchased, the power cable will be
supplied with one of a number of male AC connectors to
accommodate the different safety and code requirements
of specific countries. All AC cables supplied with Passport
products are three pin grounded types.
Under no circumstances should the ground (earth) pin be
disconnected or removed.
Your Passport System features a Switch-Mode-Power-
Supply designed to operate on any AC voltage and line
frequency to convert AC power with maximum efficiency.
When traveling abroad with the Passport system, as a
standard precaution, always check the local voltage and
set the voltage selector switch located adjacent to the
power input socket on the rear of the mixer / amplifier to
the appropriate operating range. This check must be
performed before connecting the power cable. The
Fender Passport has two range settings: 115 V or 230 V.
Failure to select the appropriate voltage range will cause
the unit to go into protect mode, void any warranty and
may cause damage to the unit.
For example, The United States of America is
standardized at 117 volts / 60 Hz, Japan operates on
100 volts / 50 Hz. For both of these countries the range
selector must be set to 115 V. Countries in the EEC have
standardized at 230 volts / 50 Hz., however, there are
different types of AC plugs used. For all these countries
the selector should be at the 230 V position. When using
plug adapters or operating in a territory other than the one
in which the unit was purchased, take great care to
comply with local safety requirements and electrical codes
of practice.
If you are not sure of the local voltage, wiring codes &
colors, AC grounding, or correct procedures for
connection, consult a qualified technician.
Warning
Under no circumstances should the ground pin
on the Passport or on any of your electrical
equipment be lifted (cut off or disconnected).
By following the correct procedures and safety
precautions, risks of severe shock hazard can be mini-
mized. Best of all, avoid operating the system in con-
junction with ungrounded or improperly grounded
electrical equipment.
To open and close your Passport system, simply follow
these guidelines:
1. Place your finger tip under the safety latch and gently
lift. When the safety latch has disengaged, lift the main
latch to remove the speaker.
2. To replace, position the speaker on the tower foot and
bring the speaker in to close the engagement with the
tower and latch. Position the latch hook over the speaker
notch and close the latch. The safety latch will automa-
tically engage.
Note: These parts are precision engineered and no force
is needed to secure them. Careful alignment of parts will
ensure easy operation.
