Your Laney amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, 
involving actual play testing.
When you first receive your Laney amplifier, follow these simple procedures:
(i) Ensure that the amplifier is the correct voltage for the country it is to be used 
in.
(ii) Connect your equipment with a high quality shielded cable. You have probably 
spent considerable money on your amplifier and equipment - don’t use poor 
quality cable, it won’t do your gear justice.
Please retain your original carton and packaging so in the unlikely event that some 
time in the future your amplifier should require servicing you will be able to return 
it to your dealer securely packed.
Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it’s life.....and yours!

To prevent electrical shock or fire hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Before using this appliance please read the operating instructions.
If your appliance features a tilting mechanism or a kickback 
style cabinet, please use this design feature with caution. 
Due to the ease with which the amplifier can be moved 
between straight and tilted back positions, only use the 
amplifier on a level, stable surface. DO NOT operate the 
amplifier on a desk, table, shelf or otherwise unsuitable 
nonstable platform.
After unpacking your amplifier check that it is 
factory fitted with a three pin ‘grounded’ (or 
earthed) plug. Before plugging into the power 
supply ensure you are connecting to a grounded 
earth outlet.
If you should wish to change the factory fitted 
plug yourself, ensure that the wiring convention 
applicable to the country where the amplifier is 
to be used is strictly conformed to. As an 
example in the United Kingdom the cable 
colour code for connections are as follows.
