1. IMPORTANT NOTES
1.1 LOOKING AFTER THE PRODUCT
• Do not apply excessive force to the organ’s structures or the controls (knobs, stops, pushbuttons, etc.).
• When possible, do not place the instrument close to units which generate strong interference,
such as radios, TVs, computer videos, etc.
• Do not place the organ close to heat sources, in damp or dusty places or in the vicinity of strong
magnetic fields.
• Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight.
• Never insert foreign bodies inside the instrument or pour liquids of any kind into it.
• For cleaning, use only a soft brush or compressed air; never use detergents, solvents or alcohol.
• Always use good quality screened cables for connection to amplification or diffusion systems.
When disconnecting cables from sockets, always take hold of the connector and not the cable
itself; when winding cables, do not knot or twist them.
• Before making the connections ensure that the other units (especially amplification and diffusion
systems) you are about to connect are switched off. This will prevent noisy or even dangerous
signal peaks.
• If the organ is to be out of use for lengthy periods, disconnect the plug from the power socket.
1.2 NOTES ON FLOPPY DISKS
• Use only good quality floppy disks.
• Do not extract the floppy disk when reading or writing operations are in progress (when the
LED on the drive is on); this may damage the head and the magnetic medium.
• Use only 3.5" DD and HD (720Kbyte and 1.44Mbyte) floppy disks formatted to the MS-DOS
standard.
• Take good care of your floppy disks and do not place them close to heat sources or magnetic
fields (computer videos, loudspeakers, etc.), or in damp or dusty places.
• The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage to the floppy disk drive in case of
use of damaged floppy disks.
