5. Operating Instructions
The E-137 Color Bar is designed for simple operation:
- Power On: Once connected to power, the unit will activate.

- Sound Sensitivity Knob: Located on the rear of the unit, this knob adjusts how sensitive the microphone is to sound. Turn clockwise to increase sensitivity (responds to quieter sounds) and counter-clockwise to decrease sensitivity (responds only to louder sounds).
