I just unboxed a Forcusrite Scarlett Solo
I am very dissatisfied. Before I even turn it on there are serious
problems. Do
not buy this, unless you familiar with the actual device
There is no documentation supplied
The labeling of the box is woeful. No little indication which is
high-z input
Some ambiguous switches on panel ("air"
WTF?)
The mic input is on the back where it is less useful
The promised software is not in the box (mēh!)
Very disappointed in it. Not well thought through in its design,
presentation or
packaging

I have a 3rd gen. Solo. Mine came with a leaflet. As your mic input is
on the back, I assume you have the 4th gen. The manual can be downloaded
here:

The "Inst" button switches between instrument and line level input.
The "Air" button enables some classic pre-amp emulation.
The device, as new, can be mounted like a USB storage device - this is
how you access the bundled software. This mode can be disabled later.
HTH,
