WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE SERIES 2200 Front Panel Functions The front panel contains all items necessary for system operation and observation. Please read this section of the manual carefully to make sure you understand all the operational features for your new FENDER SERIES 2200 bass amplifier. INPUT 1 - A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments. This input can handle as much as 2. 5 volts R. M. S. , and should be used with most instruments. This input is recommended for basses with active pickups, and can handle as much as 5 volts R. DEEP switch - boosts and extends the low frequency response of the amplifier. NOTCH switch - removes midrange, making the amp sound "punchy". This control, in conjunction with the VOLUME control (item ), allows the use of a variety of pickups, from high-impedance low-level acoustic pickups to high-output active pickups. Lowlevel pickups generally require a high GAIN setting and low VOLUME setting, while "hotter' pickups require a lower GAIN setting and a higher VOLUME setting. WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN USING HEADPHONES, AS EXCESSIVE VOLUME WILL RUIN YOUR HEARING!LINE OUT jack - This quasi-balanced output is derived from the speaker, and is at line level, similar to that of the PREAMP OUT jack (item K). Since the LINE OUT jack is post-power amp, it provides a signal that is affected by the DELTACOMPTM adaptive compressor. If the LINE OUT jack is used to connect to a balanced input, it will greatly reduce hum caused by a ground loop (a difference in ground potential) between the SERIES 2200 and another piece of equipment. POWER INDICATOR When this LED is illuminated, the SERIES 2200 is eceiving power. L. . SERIES 2200 Rear Panel NOTE: DO NOT BLOCK THE AIR FLOW TO THE REAR PANEL, FOR EXAMPLE, BY BACKING THE AMPLIFIER UP AGAINST A WALL. The rear panel is used to keep the output devices from getting too hot. Should the amplifier overheat, a thermal switch will shut the amplifier off until the output devices cool. POWER CORD - This amplifier is equipped with a grounding type supply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard. The line cord should be connected to a suitable power source, in accordance with the voltage and frequency as shown by the power rating on the rear panel.

COVERING CARE The exclusive vinyl covering your cabinet has been especially designed for years of lasting beauty. A very light, soapy solution on a sponge may be used to remove dirt and residue that may accumulate in the texture. [. . . ]
