User Manual for Clearaudio Professional Power 12V

Quick guide from the manual

The Clearaudio Professional Power 12V is a high-quality, transformer-based, and stabilized 12V DC power supply designed for Clearaudio turntables. To get started, ensure the main switch on the rear is set to 0 (OFF). Connect the device to the mains using the provided power cord, then connect your turntable to the built-in power cable. Switch the main power to I (ON). The LED will flash for approximately 40 seconds while the voltage stabilizes, then shine continuously when ready.
