! Direct sunlight. ! High temperature (near a heat source, or in a
car during the day time).
! Excessive humidity. ! Excessive dust. ! Strong vibration
Power Supply
! Turn the power switch OFF when the
instrument is not in use. ! If an AC adaptor is used, it should be
unplugged from the AC outlet if the
instrument is not to be used for an extended
period of time. ! Unplug the AC adaptor during electric
storms. ! Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same
AC outlet as appliance with high power
consumption, such as electric heaters or
ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors
since these can result in reduced sound
quality, operation errors, and possibly
damage.
Turn Power OFF When Making Connections
! To avoid damage to the instrument and other

ing, or placing heavy objects on the instru­ment can result in scratches and more serious damage.
Cleaning
! Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft
cloth.
! A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
! Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner. ! Avoid placing vinyl object on top of the unit

Power Supply
Your Digital Drum will run either from batteries or power adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.
Using an AC-Adaptor
Connect the power adaptor to the DC IN jack located on the rear panel of the unit, and plug the AC power adaptor into an AC power outlet.
An optional set of stereo headphones can be connected to the PHONE/OUTPUT jack located on the rear panel. When a pair of headphones is connected to the jack, the internal speakers of the unit will switch off automatically, perfect for private practice or late night playing. If you want to use an external sound system, the headphone jack can also be used to connect the digital drum to a stereo system or mixing console.
* Turn the power OFF on all equipment before making any connections.
Using Batteries
1
Open the battery compartment cover on the underside of the unit.

NOTES
Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an optional AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.
CAUTION
It is recommended that you replace worn batteries as soon as possible. When battery voltage drops, the display will dim and/or the sound will become distorted. When this occurs, replace the batteries with a complete set of six new batteries of the same type.
NEVER mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, magnesium, etc.), batteries by different makers, or batteries from the same maker but of different types. Misuse may cause the instrument to become hot, result in fire, or battery leakage.
Also, to prevent damage due to battery leakage, remove all the batteries from the instrument when it is not to be used for an extended period of time. Batteries left in an unused instrument will also loose their power overtime.
