BATTERY MONITOR: Used to quickly and easily see the battery pack charge status. The FULL led
will illuminate when the battery pack has a charge capacity of 90% or greater, with the battery low led
illuminating when around one hour of use remains (the time will vary depending on settings). The
battery status is displayed at power up, or can be checked at any time by pressing and holding the EQ
switch.
Please note: for maximum visibility, the battery low led will flash even without the battery check switch pressed. A full charge, sooner
rather than later is recommended when the battery warning illuminates.
18. BATTERY COMPARTMENT: The A-FRESCO comes with a quick release (no tools required)
19. CHARGE LED: An indication of the current charge status of the battery.
RED: Battery pack charging.
GREEN: Battery pack fully charged.
20. DC INLET: The A-FRESCO comes supplied with a high quality universal 24V Power Supply unit which will
work around the world with all regional mains voltages.
21. POWER: The main power switch for the unit.
For extended battery life, the A-FRESCO has a sleep function. The factory setting is Sleep mode
disabled.
To enable / disable the sleep mode, press and hold the EQ button (17) for one second whilst
turning the power on. The two leds in the image to the right indicate the sleep mode state.
During the transition from one mode to the other, the current mode state led will flash, followed by
the new one.
The setting will remain current (even after a power cycle) until the mode is switched using the method above.
Sleep mode active: The amplifier will enter a sleep state after a short period of inactivity. As soon as signal is detected at channel 1 or 2
inputs, the amplifier will exit the sleep mode will be ready for use.
Sleep mode over-ride: The sleep mode is disabled.
Use this mode when a signal is connected to the Aux input only, ie no signal connected to CH1 or CH2 or when do not want
TIP
the A-FRESCO to enter a sleep slate.
The A-FRESCO Li-Ion battery pack is removable so can quickly be replaced with a second pack (available separately, part number BP-
S18650-4) for prolonged portable use.
HOW TO REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK:
1: Turn off the power to the A-FRESCO.
2: Turn the release mechanism clockwise and carefully slide the power pack out of the unit.
3: Before removing the battery pack, unlock by turning the release mechanism anti-clockwise.

CHARGING:
The A-FRESCO will charge the onboard power pack from flat to full in around three hours. The Charge rate will be fastest when the
A-FRESCO is not in use (either with the power switch on or off). Charging will still occur (at a reduced rate) when the unit is in use.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
BATTERY SAFETY:
If used incorrectly, batteries may leak or explode and cause damage or injury, please take the following precautions.
Only charge the Li-Ion battery pack with the A-FRESCO.
The battery has short circuit protection, we do however suggest that the battery pack is kept away from conductive items such as paper
clips or coins when removed from the unit.
Do not dispose of used batteries in fire or water systems. Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire or the
like.
Used batteries should always be disposed of in compliance with the current regulations applicable to the country/region where you live.
