1)  StageMate™ WILL NOT TURN ON

Check the power to the StageMate™.  Check for tripped circuit breakers, unplugged extension cords
or power-strip switches that may be turned off.  Check the fuse.  If a dark brownish color or no wire
can be seen within the glass tube, then replace.  The amp may be perfectly fine but occasionally a
fuse may blow because of high AC voltage surges.  However, after the fuse has been replaced with
the proper Slow Blow value and if the fuse fails again, the amp will require servicing.

2)  MAINTENANCE

To bring back the new look, your StageMate™ cabinet can be washed with mild detergent and/or a
warm damp soft cloth.  This will remove normal dust and oil from the front and back panels. Never
spray cleaners or detergents directly at the units electronic controls.  It is recommended to keep
the StageMate™ free from dust, dirt, and moisture as much as possible.
