      If the Arcam Amplifier PA720 / PA240 / PA410 unexpectedly cuts out, it may have entered a protection mode due to a detected fault. The front panel LED will indicate the fault type: * FLASHING WHITE: The internal temperature of the unit reached an unsafe level. Allow the PA720 / PA240 / PA410 to cool off. * FLASHING RED: The amplifier detected a speaker short circuit. Inspect all speaker cables to ensure none are shorted. * FLASHING ORANGE: PA720 and PA240 only. The amplifier detected a DC offset. Following any of these faults, the amplifier will turn off and power to the speakers will be removed. To continue using the PA720 / PA240 / PA410, remove the fault and turn the unit OFF then back ON.
