AVERTISSEMENT

Veillez à toujours observer les précautions élémentaires énumérées ci-après pour
éviter de graves blessures, voire la mort, en raison d'une électrocution, d'un court­circuit, de dégâts, d'un incendie ou de tout autre risque. La liste de ces précautions
n'est pas exhaustive :

Piles

• Veillez à respecter les précautions détaillées ci-après. Le non respect de ces instruc­tions risque de provoquer une explosion, un incendie ou une fuite du liquide des piles.

- N'altérez pas les piles et n'essayez pas de les démonter.

- Ne jetez pas les piles au feu.

- Ne tentez pas de recharger une pile non rechargeable.

- Gardez les piles éloignées des objets métalliques tels que les colliers, les épingles à
cheveux, les pièces de monnaie ou les clés.

- Utilisez uniquement le type de pile spécifié.

- Veillez à utiliser des piles neuves, de type et de modèle identiques, issues du même
fabricant.

- Prenez soin de respecter la polarité (+/-) lors de la mise en place des piles.

- Lorsque les piles sont épuisées ou en cas de non-utilisation de l'instrument pendant
une durée prolongée, retirez les piles de l'instrument.

• Conservez les piles hors de portée des enfants car ceux-ci risquent de les avaler.

• En cas de fuite du liquide des piles, évitez tout contact avec ce liquide. En cas de contact
avec les yeux, la bouche ou la peau, rincez immédiatement à l'eau claire et consultez un
médecin. Le liquide présent dans la pile est corrosif et peut provoquer la cécité ou des
brûlures chimiques.

Veiller à éliminer les piles usagées selon les réglementations locales.

Attention !

La guitare n’est pas compatible avec la fonction d’alimentation électrique du
préamplicateur de guitare acoustique AG-Stomp. L’utilisation de cette fonction
sur l’AG-Stomp peut endommager le préamplicateur intégré de la guitare, ce qui
nuit à la qualité du son, au fonctionnement de l‘accordeur, etc.

* Avant de raccorder la guitare à l’AG-Stomp, assurez-vous que la fonction d‘alimentation élec-

trique de guitare de l‘AG-Stomp est désactivée (commutateur +9V SUPPLY en position OFF)
et introduisez une pile dans le porte-pile de la guitare.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious
injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other
hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Battery

• Follow the precautions below. Failure to do so might result in explosion, fire, overheating
or battery fluid leakage.

- Do not tamper with or disassemble batteries.

- Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

- Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not designed to be charged.

- Keep the batteries separate from metallic objects such as necklaces, hairpins, coins,
and keys.

- Use the specified battery type only.

- Use new batteries, all of which are the same type, same model, and made by the same
manufacturer.

- Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings.

- When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time,
remove the batteries from the instrument.

• Do not carry or store batteries with other metal objects such as necklaces, hairpins,
metal coins, or keys.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come
in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doc­tor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Caution!

This guitar is not compatible with the power supply function on the AG-Stomp
acoustic guitar preamplier. Using the guitar power supply function on the AG­Stomp can damage the guitar’s built-in preamplier resulting in abnormal sound
output, tuner operation, etc.

* Before connecting the guitar to the AG-Stomp, make sure that the AG-Stomp’s guitar power

supply function is switched OFF (switch OFF the +9V SUPPLY switch) and insert a battery
into the guitar’s battery holder.
