congratulations!
Thank you for purchasing the Simmons
®
SD9K Digital Drum Kit. In an effort to be environmentally
friendly and use less paper we have decided to include this “mini” Quick Start Manual. For in-depth
detail on your Simmons
®
SD9K you can visit www.simmonsdrums.net and download a PDF file
version of the full manual. We estimate that by doing this we are saving approximately 250,000
pieces of paper annually.
We recommend that you skim through this Quick Start manual at least once to get started on
enjoying your new Simmons
®
SD9K Drum Kit.
Taking Care of Your Digital Drum Kit
Location
• Keep the drum kit away from direct sunlight, high temperature sources, and excessive humidity to prevent
deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
Power Supply
• Turn the power switch OFF when the SD9K is not in use.
• The AC adapter should be unplugged if the SD9K is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• Avoid plugging the AC adapter into an outlet that is also powering high-consumption appliances such as
electric heaters or televisions. Also avoid using multi-plug adapters, since these can reduce sound quality,
cause operation errors and result in possible damage.
• Turn OFF the SK9K’s power switch and all related devices prior to connecting or disconnecting cables,
to avoid damaging the unit.
Handling and Transport
• Never apply excessive force to controls, connectors, and other parts.
• Unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly. Do not pull on the cables.
• Disconnect all cables before moving the module.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the module can result in
scratches and more serious damage.
Cleaning
• Clean the module with a dry, soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or paint thinner.
• To avoid discoloration, do not place vinyl objects on top of module.
Electrical interference
• The module contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television
receivers. If this occurs, move the SD9K further away from the affected equipment.
Service and Modification
• There are no user-serviceable parts in the drum module.
• Do not attempt to open the drum module or make any change in the circuits or parts of the unit.
This would void the warranty.
