Important Safety Instructions
We value you as a customer—and want our products to give you an inspiring, and gratifying,
experience. So, to insure your safety and protect your investment in the Gibson Dark Fire guitar,
please read and follow all safety warnings and operating instructions before using this product, and
keep all documentation for future reference.
Environmental Factors
Heat and moisture can harm your Gibson Dark Fire. Please do not install or operate this guitar near
sources of moisture, such as sinks, damp basements, leaky roofs, etc. and never store it near heat
sources, such as heaters or radiators. Both you and your Dark Fire will be much happier if you store
and operate this product under safe conditions.
Power Sources
Use only the power source included in the Dark Fire package. Make sure any power supply cords are
not located where they are likely to be safety hazards, such as on the floor where people might walk,
or in locations where they may receive pressure from items placed upon or against them. Also, be
very careful with any power source connections, such as where the AC adapter connects to the wall
outlet. If these are jostled loose, the Robot Guitar II Breakout Box or RIP audio interface may
experience extreme power differentials, which can potentially harm you and the product.
Service
Please do not attempt to service Dark Fire or any of its accessories yourself. Opening the case may
expose you to high voltages (besides, there are no user-serviceable parts), so let our expert
technicians handle any repairs for you.
Speaking of experts, always send the RIP to an authorized service technician if any of the following
occurs (contact numbers for service centers are at the end of this section):
Any foreign object (especially liquid) has gotten inside Dark Fire or its accessories
Dark Fire or its accessories have been exposed to water, dropped, or otherwise damaged
A marked change in Dark Fire’s performance
You hear anything rattling around inside if you shake the Dark Fire gently
