IMPORTANT NOTES

 

Placement

 

354a

 

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices 
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or 
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat 
can deform or discolor the unit.

 

355b

 

When moved from one location to another where the 
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets 
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or 
malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this 
condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it 
to stand for several hours, until the condensation has 
completely evaporated.

 

356

 

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on 
the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or 
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

 

Maintenance

 

401a

 

For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or 
one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove 
stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-
abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit 
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

 

402

 

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to 
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

 

Additional Precautions

 

553

 

Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s 
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks 
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

 

556

 

When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the 
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will 
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal 
elements.

 

558a

 

To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s 
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use 
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those 
around you (especially when it is late at night).

 

558d

 

This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous 
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound 
vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a 
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these 
sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when 
performing at night and when using headphones.

 

559a

 

When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box 
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you 
will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

 

Add

 

When changing the head or the covering, avoid touching any 
parts (except for the wing bolts) located inside the shell. 
Otherwise, you risk injury to your hands or fingers and 
damage to this unit’s parts.

 

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 2) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 3). 
These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured 
that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. 
The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.
