Safety notes
Place of installation
Protect the PU 100 against the following influences to prevent distortion or discoloring of
the housing or other serious damage:
direct sunlight (e.g. near windows)
high temperatures (near radiators, in direct sunlight or in closed vehicles during the
daytime
excessive humidity
excessive dust
sharp mechanical shocks.
Connections
Use only the 13-pin AXON AXK 100 cable (available separately) to connect the PU
100 to the AXON.
If you are using an electric guitar, connect its pickups to the PU 100 as well even if
you do not need the conventional guitar sound. This connection is important for
grounding the instrument to prevent noPhilippise and electric shock.
Always grasp the plug, not the cable itself, when unplugging cables.
Remove all cables before moving or transporting the instrument or any connected
equipment.
Handling and transport
Do not use excessive force on the controls or when inserting or removing plugs.
Dropping or bumping the instrument or placing heavy objects on it can result in
scratches or other damage.
Take care not to damage the PU 100 when placing the instrument on a stand.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the instrument.
Moisten the cloth slightly to remove stubborn dirt.
Never use cleaning products such as alcohol or thinner.
Customer service, maintenance and modifications
The PU 100 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Opening the housing or oth-
er tampering may result in electrical shock or irreparable damage. Please refer all servicing work to TerraTec technicians.
TerraTec cannot be held liable for damage resulting from installation and operation
errors or improper use.
