IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and

enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.

Maintenance
•For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened
with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
•Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable.
This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
•To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may
prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially
when it is late at night).
•This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when it's played.
However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree
than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially
when performing at night and when using headphones.
