IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the
following:
Placement
354b
• 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. Also, do not allow lighting devices
that normally are used while their light source is
very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or
powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of
the unit for extended periods of time. 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.
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.
add
• The pad’s rubber surface may turn white, but this
has no effect on the pad’s function.

PD-8
Features
• Pad is compatible with dual triggers for separate
head and rim sounds.
• Velocity sensitive pad provides rich expression.
• Compact, 8.5-inch pad allows for greater versatility
when setting up.
• When used with a percussion sound module capable
of positional sensing, you can obtain tonal changes
by varying the location at which the pad is struck.
For details on positional sensing, refer to the documentation
for the percussion sound module you’re using.

Connecting to a Percussion Sound Module
921
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.
