Operation:
1. The Music Machine requires 8 AA batteries (Not included). Alkaline batteries are
recommended because they last longer. Do not use rechargeable batteries because
they supply lower voltage and the unit may not perform as well.
2. The battery compartments are located under the unit. Carefully turn the unit over.
Remove the battery covers screws by turning them counterclockwise with a Phillips
head screwdriver. Install batteries, being careful to observe proper battery polarity.
3. Replace the battery case covers and secure them with screws. Do not over-tighten.
4. Plug in your capability switch into the 1/8" jack. The striking arm will only move
during switch activation. The speed or tempo, at which the striking arm moves, can
be adjusted. Turning the black adjusting knob clockwise increases the speed,
counterclockwise decreases speed.
5. Make sure that you have TIGHT connections between your switch and The Music
Machine. There should be no gaps.
6. To attaché your instrument, loosen the black knob of clamp that is connected to the
black gooseneck. Do this only enough to accommodate your instrument. Tighten
the knob just enough to hold the instrument securely. Please Note: overtighting of
the knob will cause damage to this unit. There is a second knob on this clamp,
which is used to adjust the angle of your instrument. Clockwise tightens the silver
knob and counterclockwise loosens this knob.
7. At times it may be necessary to adjust the instrument gooseneck-mounting arm to
accommodate your instrument. With one hand hold the base of the gooseneck, with
your other hand bend the gooseneck to adjust the instruments placement. Please see
