Using the Ground Life Switch:
Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the Ground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground Can eliminate ground loops and hum
to create a quieter signal path.

2. Then turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (70). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH to the right Turn the power back on and
listen to determine which position will provide a signal devoid of background noise and bum. Keep the GROUND LIFT SWITCH in the ground position if the noise level
remains the same in either position.
