Making The Connections And Turning The Power On - Boss ME-25 Manual De Instrucciones

Making the Connections and
Turning the Power On
Electric guitar
Insert the plug into the INPUT
jack to power up the ME-25.
The INPUT jack doubles as the power
switch. Power to the unit is turned on when
you plug into the INPUT jack; the power is
turned off when the cable is unplugged.
The battery compartment is located on the underside.
Insert the included batteries, taking care to orient them correctly.
When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under
the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to
orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety,
please read and observe the following precautions.
Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.
Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.
Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge
from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure
that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that
none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area with running water if
any of the discharge has entered the eyes.
Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
Expected battery life under continuous use: Carbon: 3 hours, Alkaline: 9 hours
These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.
When operating on battery power only, the unit's indicator will become dim when battery power gets too low.
Replace the battery as soon as possible.
We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even when you're powering it with the AC adaptor.
That way, you'll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of the AC adaptor gets accidently disconnected from the unit.
About connecting the ME-25 to the other devices
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in
the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down
the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
Raise the amp volume only after turning on the power to all connected devices.
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after
power up is required before the unit will operate normally.
When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment
connected to INPUT and AUX IN may be low. If this happens, use connection cables
that do not contain resistors.

Stereo headphones
The ME-25 has no built-in amp or speakers. To hear sounds, you'll need to provide a guitar
amplifier, stereo headphones, or other such equipment.
For mono output, connect a cable to the L/MONO jack only.
If you want to send the output from the PHONES jack to a recorder or other device, use a
connection cable such as the PCS-31L (available separately). The PCS-31L has a stereo phone
plug on one end, and two phone plugs on the other end. If, instead, you were to use an ordinary
guitar cable, only the sound of the L channel would be available in the output.
On the ME-25, the level of the signal input via AUX cannot be adjusted. You'll need to perform
that adjustment on the equipment you've connected. When needing to monitor the sound
being input, first turn down the volume all the way on the device you've connected. Then,
gradually raise the level until you've reached the appropriate volume.
Be sure to use a BOSS
PSA-series adaptor. The use of
PC
any other adaptor may cause
damage or malfunction.
