Important
Read the following before operating the Disklavier.
Warnings
• Do not locate the Disklavier in a place subject to excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct
sunlight. This could be a fire hazard and may damage the finish and internal paits.
• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or electiic shock.
• Connect the plug on the Disklavier power cable to a compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will
present a fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable plug is not compatible with your AC
outlet, consult your dealer.
• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and lead
to fire and electric shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some devices.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. A damaged power cable is a potential fire and
electric shock hazard. If the power cable runs under a carpet, make sure heavy objects, including
the Disklavier, are not placed on top of the cable.
• If the power cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a bai'e wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a
replacement. Using the Disklavier in this condition is a fire and shock hazaid.
• When disconnecting the power cable from an AC outlet, always pull from the plug. Never pull
the cable. Damaging the cable in this way is a potential fire and electric shock hazard.
• The cover of the unit should be removed only by qualified service technicians.
• Do not place liquid containers such as vases, potted plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles, medicines,
etc., on top of the Disklavier.
• Do not try to modify the Disklavier, as this could lead to fire or electric shock hazai'd.
• When moving the Disklavier to another location, turn off the power, remove the power plug from
the AC outlet, and remove all cables connected to external devices.
Cautions
Turn off all audio devices when connecting to the Disklavier. Refer to the user’s guide for each
device. Use the coirect cables and connect as specified.
Set the volume level on all the devices to minimum before applying power.
Do not play the Disklavier at a high volume for extended periods; you may damage your
hearing. This is especially important when using headphones. If you think your hearing ability is
impaired, consult your doctor.
If the Disklavier is worked exti'emely hard - that is, prolonged playback of very “busy” songs the Disklavier’s thermal relay may trip. The thermal relay will automatically reset when the
Disklavier has cooled down.
If you notice any abnormality - such as smoke, odor, or noise - turn off the Disklavier
immediately, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair.
If a foreign object or water gets inside the Disklavier turn it off immediately, and remove the
power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer.
92-469-DK
(D PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL
If you plan not to use the Disklavier for a long period of time (such as when you are on
vacation), disconnect the electrical mains.
• Always remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the Disklavier. Leaving the
power plug connected presents a risk of electric shock.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the Disklavier.
• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on top of the Disklavier. The color and finish of the
Disklavier can be damaged.
• Do not place heavy objects on the Disklavier. Doing so can damage the Disklavier.
• Use a soft, diy cloth to clean the Disklavier. However, if you discover a stain, carefully use a soft
damp cloth to remove it.
Interference
• The Disklavier uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference to radios and TVs
placed close to it. If interference does occur, relocate the affected equipment.
Handling Batteries
The remote control of this unit is powered by diy batteries. Improper use or misuse of the dry
batteries can cause the diy batteries to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a
fire, damage to equipment and/or nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. Read
through and familiarize yourself with the following safety precautions prior to use to ensure correct
usage.
• Do not directly touch the chemicals (electrolyte) which have leaked from diy batteries.
1. If electrolyte from dry batteries has made contact with your eyes, rinse your eyes thoroughly
with clean water and seek medical treatment from a physician immediately.
2. If electrolyte from dry batteries has touched your skin or clothing, rinse it off immediately
with clean water.
3. If electrolyte from dry batteries has found its way inside your mouth, gargle immediately and
consult a physician.
• Do not install the diy batteries with the “+” and poles reversed. Misaligning the poles of diy
batteries can lead the dry batteries to be charged or shorted or it can cause them to heat up, leak
electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire, damage to nearby objects or in burns,
injuiy or other bodily hai*m.
• Use only the designated batteries. Do not use used batteries with unused batteries or different
types of batteries together. This can cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn
may result in a fire or in bums, injury or other bodily harm.
Replace all the dry batteries at the same time. Do not use new and old diy batteries together. Do
not use different types of batteries (alkaline and manganese batteries, batteries made by different
manufacturers or different batteiy products made by the same manufacturer) together: this can
cause them to heat up, ingite or leak elecLolyte.
• When the battery-powered unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove
the diy batteries from the unit. Othei-wise the batteries will run down and their electrolyte may
leak, resulting in damage to the unit.
• Remove spent batteries immediately from equipment. Otherwise, batteries will overdischarge,
causing them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in damage to nearby
objects or in burns, injuiy or other bodily hcU'm.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with the applicable regulations and ordinances.
Please keep this manual for future reference.
