Ron,

I've never used one of these but I do recall others wrestling with the same 
problem.  I think the thing you have to remove is like a stick-on label that 
you peel off.  I believe you then had to turn the pot all the way up with a 
screw driver and you would be good to go.  Sorry I can't be more definite 
than that.  Good luck.  Lou
