NanoBass Reference Manual
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING — When using your NanoBass, certain precautions should always be
followed, such as:
1) Read all the instructions first.
2) Do not use your NanoBass near water. Why? Water is a terrific conductor of
electricity. You risk damaging your NanoBass and shocking yourself if you
use it near things like bathtubs, washbowls, and kitchen sinks, or in wet
basements or around swimming pools.
3) Your NanoBass doesn’t make any sound by itself — no built-in speakers —
but be careful when you are setting the volume levels of anything you plug it
into. If your amplifier, headphones, or speakers are set too loud, then you
could produce sound levels capable of causing permanent hearing loss.
That’s “permanent” as in “forever,” which is definitely not something you
want. So be cautious. Don’t play your NanoBass for long periods of time at
uncomfortably high volume levels. And if you ever experience any hearing
loss or ringing in your ears, consult an audiologist immediately.
4) Don’t put your NanoBass on or near any radiators, heat registers, or other
strong heat sources.
5) The “wall-wart” AC power supply for your NanoBass should be unplugged
from the outlet whenever the unit is going to go unused for a long period of
time.
6) Be careful that you don’t drop things on, or spill liquids into, your NanoBass.
(If you have to drink something while in the vicinity of your NanoBass, then
avoid glasses and soda cans in favor of portable plastic bottles with quick-
snap lids, like the kind you’d use when bicycling or at the gym.)
7) If for any reason your NanoBass is damaged, or stops working, don’t try to
fix it yourself. All repairs should be handled by Alesis-qualified service
personnel. If the store where you bought your NanoBass can’t help, contact
Alesis directly for the name and number of the authorized service location
nearest you.
