Attentions

1. Do not share a socket with other appliances. Socket sharing can easily cause overheating and
unexpected accident could happen because of wire burning.

2. Do not disassemble, repair and refit without permission. Self-disassembly or modification can easily
cause unanticipated failure and lead to accident. It will seriously affect the consumer's rights.

3. Disconnect the plug when it is out of service.

4. Pay attention to the wire keep and protection. Do not break, pull, distort, and lengthen the wire to
avoid unexpected accident. Avoid heavy pressure when keeping and using.

5. Use it at the rated voltage. Playing at the lower voltage cannot get the normal tone and will shorten
its life: playing at the higher voltage will burn down the internal circuit and even lead to fire.

6. Do not rinse with water or use in the bathroom to avoid malfunction and unexpected accident.
