The memory for the capture system on your MDS organ is sustained by a Lithium
battery. This allows capture settings and related items to be retained in memory when
the organ is switched off or unplugged. Under normal circumstances, the Lithium
battery should last for several years. A built-in warning system will alert you when
the battery becomes weak and needs to be replaced.
On Allen MDS organs that include a Console Controller™, the LCD display will
flash a warning message for a few seconds during power-up when the battery requires
replacement. The display will read as follows:
WARNING!!
Replace
Battery
On Allen MDS and Protégé models without a Console Controller™, the green power
light will flash for about ten seconds after the organ is switched on.
Should the battery in your MDS organ require replacement, contact your local Allen
authorized service representative.
CARE OF THE ORGAN
Your Allen Digital Computer Organ constitutes a major advance in long-term
maintenance-free operation. There are no regular maintenance procedures required
and, therefore, no periodic maintenance schedules to be observed.
Reasonable care will keep the instrument looking beautiful for years to come. The
wood surfaces may be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water.
A mild solution of lukewarm water and dish detergent may be used to remove
fingerprints, etc. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use wax, sprays or oils on the finish. Satin finished surfaces will take on a
semi-gloss appearance when waxed and will eventually become yellowed.
Keys and stop tablets should be cleaned in the following manner: Use two clean
cloths. Immerse one in clear, lukewarm water and wring it thoroughly damp dry.
Loosen the dirt with this cloth, then polish immediately with the dry cloth. Do not
use soap or detergent on keys or stop tablets.
