Operation
Automatic Power Shut-Off
Total PA Premier is equipped with an automatic power shut-off to save energy in compliance with the energy
efficiency regulations for compact audio products. Total PA Premier will enter an energy-saving mode after 20
minutes unless an audio signal at a moderate level is detected from the XLR Input, the Aux Input, the USB/SD
media player, the Radio, or a Bluetooth connection. In energy-saving mode, the display and lights will turn off and
audio playback will be disabled, but the unit will remain powered on in standby.
To resume normal operation, simply turn a knob or press a button on the unit or remote control.
To prevent automatic shut-off, an audio signal should remain active at a moderate volume level from the XLR
Input, the Aux Input, the USB/SD media player, the Radio, or a Bluetooth connection. We recommend setting
audio source (i.e., Aux Input or Bluetooth) volume at max and the Master Volume to 5 or higher to prevent shut-off.
To prevent automatic shut-off when using the microphone by itself, connect to the XLR Input, set the Aux Input
Volume to max, and then adjust the Master Volume until the microphone is heard.
