DC IN jack
Accepts connection of an AC Adaptor (PSA-S series; sold
separately). By using it, you can play without being concerned
about how much battery power you have left.
* Use only the specied AC adaptor (PSA-S series; sold separately),
and connect it to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. Do not use
any other AC adaptor, since this may cause malfunction.
* Insert the tip of the plug all the way into the jack.
* If the AC adaptor is connected while a battery is installed, the
power supply is drawn from the AC adaptor.
* We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit
even though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That
way, you’ll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of

with your hand or foot, you’ll need to adjust the pad’s sensitivity.
Striking with a drumstick
Using your hand or foot
Lower the sensitivity
Raises the sensitivity
5 In an environment where there is high-volume sound, such as if you’re
using acoustic drums, sound or vibration from an external source might
make the this unit produce sound even if it’s not struck. The measures
below can help prevent false triggering.
5 Adjust the position and angle at which the percussion holder is mounted so that
the unit is kept at a distance from the source of the vibration.
5 Raises the minimum sensitivity (THRESHOLD) of the pad.
About Batteries
If using the unit on batteries, install four batteries, taking care to orient the
batteries correctly.
* If the TRIG indicator stays blinking, the batteries are low. Install new
batteries.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid
leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items related to
batteries that are listed in the leaet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and
“IMPORTANT NOTES.”
