Important Safety Instructions
We value you as a customer—and want our products to give you an inspiring, and gratifying,
experience. So, to insure your safety and protect your investment in the Gibson Dusk Tiger
guitar, please read and follow all safety warnings and operating instructions before using this
product, and keep all documentation for future reference.
Environmental Factors
Heat and moisture can harm your Gibson Dusk Tiger. Please do not install or operate this
guitar near sources of moisture, such as sinks, damp basements, leaky roofs, etc. and never
store it near heat sources, such as heaters or radiators. Both you and your Dusk Tiger will
be much happier if you store and operate this product under safe conditions.
Power Sources
Use only the power source included in the Dusk Tiger package. Make sure any power supply
cords are not located where they are likely to be safety hazards, such as on the floor where
people might walk, or in locations where they may receive pressure from items placed upon
or against them. Also, be very careful with any power source connections, such as where the
AC adapter connects to the wall outlet. If this connection is jostled loose, the RIP audio
interface may experience extreme power differentials, which can potentially harm you and
the product.
Service
Please do not attempt to service Dusk Tiger or any of its accessories yourself. Opening the
case may expose you to high voltages (besides, there are no user-serviceable parts), so let
our expert technicians handle any repairs for you.
Speaking of experts, always send the Dusk Tiger to an authorized service technician if any
of the following occurs (contact numbers for service centers are at the end of this section):
Any foreign object (especially liquid) has gotten inside Dusk Tiger or its accessories
Dusk Tiger or its accessories have been exposed to water, dropped, or otherwise
damaged
