5.1 L-Ixgħel tal-Unità

The TC-450 can be powered by either a 9-volt battery or the included AC adaptor.

Insert a fresh 9-volt battery, ensuring correct polarity. Replace the panel and screws. A single 9-volt battery provides many hours of operation due to the preamp's low current draw.
  • Qawwa AC: Connect the included 1A SMPS AC adaptor to the DC12V input jack on the rear of the unit. Plug the adaptor into a standard wall outlet.
