Using the QSC PL236 power amplifier is straightforward. First, make sure to connect it to the correct power supply that comes with it. Then, connect your audio sources to the appropriate input channels. You can use it in either two - channel mode or switch to Bridge Mono mode for more power. When using it, keep it in a well - ventilated area to prevent overheating. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or moisture. For maintenance, regularly dust off the amplifier using a soft, dry cloth. If there are any issues, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
