A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Bel Canto Design eVo4, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used.

    The front panel switch or rear panel 12 volt trigger input is used to power on the amplifier . When using the 12 volt trigger the front panel switch should remain in the off (out) posi- tion. The eV o amplifiers have been designed to remain powered up at all times, their very low standby power is conducive to this. The blue front panel LED remains [...]

    eV o Amplifier Placement Within Y our System The most typical arrangement places the eV o on the lower shelf of a rack or shelf unit; some users prefer to have the eV o on its own stand. Because the eV o runs so cool it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. W e do not recommend placing weights or other objects directly on the e[...]
