Before switching the PRO2 on, make sure that all monitor loudspeaker
power amplifiers are turned off or muted.
After connecting up the audio cables, carry out the following:
1 Plug one of the control centre’s mains cables into a mains power outlet and then
connect the IEC plug to a mains inlet socket on the rear of the PRO2.
2 Do the same with other mains cable. Make sure you connect the mains cable
to a separate mains outlet.
3 Make sure that all monitor loudspeaker power amplifiers are turned off or muted
and then switch on both mains on/off switches, one after the other. Do not
switch them on simultaneously.
4 The control centre will power up; the GUI will display the default screens and all
the controls will be set to default. You are now ready to start using the PRO2
control centre.

“Saving your show files to a USB memory stick” on page 91).

shutdown down sequence.
During the shutdown sequence the GUI screens will shutdown and all of the LCD
select buttons on the control surface will turn red.

surface will turn green, and the appropriate ones will also display text messages,
accordingly.
During the shutdown sequence, when the LCD select buttons on the
control surface are red, do not switch off the mains power supply, and
when they are green, it is OK to switch off the mains power supply.
