User Interface Features
Please refer to Figure-2d on page 17 to familiarize yourself with the front panel user interface controls of the AMP-S8 Series+ units. The
following sections describe these features and are referenced, by number/letter, to Figure-2d. For multi-function controls, a color-coded
dot identifies the mode in which a particular function operates; GRAY dot ( ) = Normal Operational Mode, BLUE dot ( ) =
FUNCTION (FN) Modes, YELLOW dot ( ) = Setup Mode). The user should refer to the User Interface Function Guide starting on
page 23 where operation is described in greater detail and contents are referenced by function rather than feature.
