SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES

Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra

attention to these safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual

in a safe place for future reference.

 If using a strap, ensure that the strap is securely attached to the

bass. Do not lift or swing the bass about by the strap. The strap

could come loose, causing the instrument to fall to the ground or

to hit other persons nearby.

 Do not treat the instrument roughly. Do not put excessive force on

the switches and knobs.

 Do not put your face close to the instrument when changing the

strings or tuning. A string could suddenly break, which could cause

facial and eye injuries. It is recommended to wear safety glasses

when changing strings or tuning the instrument.

 After changing the strings, use a pair of wire cutters to trim the

string ends. Be aware of the sharp ends of the strings after they are

trimmed.

 Clean the instrument using a soft, dry cloth only. Take care to avoid

injury from the sharp string ends at the headstock.

 To prevent damage to the instrument, do not lean it against a wall

where it could fall over. For best results, use a guitar stand.

 Do not store the instrument near a heat source, such as a fireplace

or stove. Do not leave it in direct sunlight. Do not leave it in a hot

vehicle, especially during the summer.

 Avoid exposing your instrument to extremes in temperature and

humidity. If exposure cannot be avoided, loosen the strings and

allow cold instruments to gradually warm up.

 When connecting or disconnecting the instrument to an amplifier,

ensure that the amplifier is either powered off or that the volume

is turned all the way down.
