IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the following:
Placement
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may
result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore,
before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several
hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the
unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
Maintenance
401a
• 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.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
553
• 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.
556
• 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.
558a
• 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).
558d
• 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.
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you
will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
add
• The snare stand is supported by means of a tripod. When
installing the drum set, make sure the legs of the tripod are
opened wide enough to keep the equipment from falling over.
