USER’S GUIDE
Page 2
Connect two capability switches and drum all day on our st ylish
wooden bongos. They have great sound and are made with high
quality wood. Easy to tune with at tached bongo key underneath.
Size: 18"L x 12" W x 11½"H. Requires 4 D Batteries.
Operation:
1. The Bongo Drums require 4 D size batteries. Use alkaline
batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer bra nd). Do not use
rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries because
they supply lower voltage and t he unit will not perfo r m
properly. Never mix old and new batteries together or different
brands or types of batteries together.
2. The battery compartment is located under t he dr um base.
Ca refully turn the unit over to reveal the battery compartment.
Remove the small Phillips Head screw from t he cover, and then
slide the cover to one side. Next install new batteries, being
careful to observe proper + & - battery polarity. Slide cover
closed and replace screw.
3. Connect t he unit to any two external capabilit y switches via the
jacks, located on the back of the drum base. The Bongo Drums
are equipped with two 1/8-inch female jacks, for use with
capability switches with a 1/8-inch plug. If you need to use a
1/4- to 1/8-inch adapte r, it must be a mono adapter, (our
No.1170) not stereo.
4. Make sure that all connections are tight. There should be no
gaps.
5. Activate the external capability switches to make the
drumstick(s) hit the Bongos.
6. The Bongo Drums will continue beating while as long as t he
external capability switch continues to be activated. Once you
release the switches, the Drumstick(s) will stop hitting the
Bongos. 7. The Bong Drums can be tuned using the attached key which is
held in place inside one of the Bongs with Velcro.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The Bongo Drums fail to operate.
Action #1: Be sure dru mstick(s) are not stuck against t he face of the
drum pads. If they are, gently pull it away from t he face of the
drum pad and gently straighten spring.
Action #2: If the drumstick(s) are not stuck against the face of the
drum pad, replace t he batteries paying attention to proper + & polar ity.
Problem: The drum stick(s) spins, but either (a) does not st rike the
drum pads, or (b) does not strike the drums properly.
Action #1: Gently bend the dru mstick(s) slightly at the spring to the
appropriate position for optimal play.
Care of the Unit:
The base and sides of the Bongo Drums can be wiped clean with any
mild household multi-purpose, non-abr asive cleaner and
disinfectant. We recommend Simple G reen, which is a non toxic
biodegradable all-purpose cleaner.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the surface of the
unit.
Do not submerge the unit, as it will damage the electrical
components.
