■
Location
Do not expose the AIX-103 to the following
conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or
more serious damage.
• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source,
outside, or in a car during the daytime).
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
• Strong vibration.
■
Connections
•
When connecting the AIX-103 to the Blue
Chip Music AXON Guitar MIDI Converter,
be sure to use the specified multi-pin cable
(supplied with the AXON Guitar MIDI
Converter).
• Always connect the direct guitar cable (page
4), even if you don’t intend to use the direct
guitar sound. The direct guitar cable is
essential for proper grounding, to minimize
noise and prevent electric shock.
• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly,
not
by pulling on the cable.
• Disconnect all cables before moving the
instrument or any connected equipment.
■
Handling and Transport
•
Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors or other parts of the instrument.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bump-
ing, or placing heavy objects on the instru-
ment can result in scratches and more serious
damage.
• Be careful not to damage the AIX-103

on a stand.
■
Cleaning
• Clean the unit with a dry soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as thinner.
■
Notes on Adhesive Tape
• Depending on the surface of the bass guitar the
finish may peel off or be altered chemically
when the pickup/controller is mounted using
adhesive tape (double-sided). To make sure, it
is recommended that you first try this method
of attachment by applying some tape at a place
on the guitar body which is not visible nor-
mally.
•
If the pickup must be removed from the base guitar,
always use a fresh layer of double-sided adhesive
tape and/or cushion when reinstalling, as the
adhesive properties of used tape/cushion are reduced
drastically when peeled off the mating surface. Also,
before attaching the adhesive tape or pickup, clean
the mating surface thoroughly, as dust and grease
may cause the pickup to come loose.
■
Service and Modification
• The AIX-103 contains no user serviceable
parts. Opening it or tampering with it in any
way can lead to irreparable damage and
possibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to
qualified BLUE CHIP MUSIC personnel.
