What to do
• Make sure you have power at the AC outlet. Try operating a lamp or other equipment
from the same AC outlet or test the outlet using an AC outlet tester.
• Make sure the PS1 power stand's power cord plug is fully inserted into the AC outlet.
• Check the line fuse on the PS1 power stand.
• Make sure volume control is turned up on your instrument.
• Make sure the applicable level control is turned up (Trim, or Channel 3/4 Level on the
PS1 power stand; CH 1/2 LEVEL and MASTER level on the R1 remote control).
• Make sure your instrument is plugged into the Channel 1/2 Input or Channel 3/4 Input
jack.
• Connect your instrument to the PS1 power stand using a different cable.
• Plug your instrument into a different amplifier to make sure the instrument is working.
• Please call Bose Live Music Customer Support at (877) 335-2673 for assistance.
• If you have more than one PS1 power stand plugged into the same AC circuit, stagger
the turn-on times. Each PS1 power stand has an inrush current of about 32 amps when
turned on.
• If you have more than three PS1 power stands plugged into a single 15 amp circuit,
move some systems to another AC circuit. Each PS1 power stand can draw 5 amps or
more when playing at high volumes for long periods of time.
• Using an AC outlet tester, test the AC outlet that the PS1 power stand is plugged into
for reversed or open (hot, neutral, and/or ground) contacts.
• If using an extension cord, make sure that the cord is also tested as above.
• Make sure you are using the (blue) B1 bass module 4-wire cable included with the B1
bass module.
• Make sure that the B1 bass module cable is plugged into the B1 Bass Module (Amp 3
OUT) jack on the PS1 power stand.
• Try a different 4-wire cable.
• Check that the B1 bass module cable connectors are fully engaged in the jacks.
• If available, try a different B1 bass module.
• Make sure you are using the (blue) B1 bass module 4-wire cable included with the B1
bass module package.
• Make sure that the B1 bass module grille is facing forward toward the musicians and
audience.
