Set the tracking force to the recommended tracking weight by the cartridge manufacturer. Rotating clockwise the counterweight 1gram is added to
the tracking force applied on the cartridge (the counterweight engraved part is divided in 6 different sections; every section adds the tracking force of 0,20gram). Firmly clamp the counterweight screwing the 2 Allen bolts. . 13) Check to see if the hydraulic arm lift works properly. It should raise the arm enough to lift the cartridge 1/8th � 3/16 th of an inch off of the record, yet not
lift it too much as to bind the arm in the back of the pivot tower. The arm rest should be positioned just slightly higher than the arm lift when the arm lift is in the up position, if it is not, the tone -arm may be forced off of the pivot tower every time you put it back into the arm rest. Adjustment of the arm rest requires loosening the small lock nut on the shaft of the arm rest, and turning it until you achieve the desired height. You may find it necessary to pull the black armrest off, in order to turn the shaft. Adjustment of the arm lift is done using the small Allen wrench, and loosening the small Allen screw in the side of the arm lift, located at the top of the vertical arm lift shaft. This will enable you to slide the armrest up and down on the arm lift shaft.
BECAREFULL: Do not tight to much the Allen screws fix the tonearm in its collar (Arm Board) to avoid any deformation of the shaft would decrease performances of the unit by compressing the internal precision bearings.

Betania Titanium Bearing Tonearm
Positioning of Betania Tonearm
The Betania tonearm has been designed for use in Hi-Fi systems in sheltered locations. It ought therefore to be protected from any eventual variations in temperature and humidity. Avoid using in the vicinity of radiators or other strong heat sources, electrical and electronic motors, switched on mobile phones etc. The location in proximity of other audio components is not theoretically critical, but you should nevertheless pay attention to this. If the turntable should have to be moved after the tonearm has been installed, certain readjustments may need to be made. In any case, take care to lock the Betania tonearm every time you need to move it, or to move the turntable on which it is installed.
T he connection to the cartridge of Betania must be done as follows: RED : + Right Channel WHITE: + Left Channel GREEN : - Right Channel BLUE: - Left Channel and GROUND
Operating Conditions
Once it has been correctly mounted on your turntable, and once the supplied cable linking the connector located on the bottom of the Shaft and the amplifier to the PHONO input set for the pre -installed cartridge has been connected, your Betania tonearm is ready for use.
