On/Off switch and power indicator
Switch on the TEP 3800 by pressing the on/off switch (Power). The
blue THORENS script nameplate illuminates and the volume display
flashes during booting up. As soon as the volume display illuminates
continuously, the appliance is ready for operation. Press on/off switch
(Power) to switch off the appliance.
The TEP 3800 takes about two to three minutes until it has
entirely powered up and is ready for use!
Operating controls (front panel)
Important note on continuous operation:
Due to the fully automated control of all operating points and the
complete DC coupling of all stages, the TEP 3800 operates with the
optimum parameters after a few minutes already. This way it is nei-
ther necessary nor recommended to leave the TEP 3800 switched
on continuously. Continuous operation will result in early deterioration
of the component parts (especially of the tubes) and would hence
reduce the lifespan of the appliance. Moreover, increased power
consumption through continuous operation pollutes the environment
unnecessarily.
