1. IMPORTANT NOTES
1.1 NOTES ON THE DB-3
LOOKING AFTER THE PRODUCT
•
Do not apply excessive force to the structures or the controls (knobs, switches, etc.).
•
Handle the instrument with care during both transport and use. The instrument should
be transported in its original packaging or a similar container.
•
Do not place the instrument close to heat sources, in damp or dusty places or in the
vicinity of strong magnetic fields. Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight.
•
When possible, do not place the instrument close to units which generate strong
interference, such as radios, TVs, computer videos, etc.
•
Never insert foreign bodies inside the instrument or pour liquids of any kind into it.
•
For cleaning, use only a soft brush or compressed air; never use detergents, solvents
or alcohol.
•
The instrument contains a buffer battery allowing retention of the data in the RAM
memory. The lifetime of this battery is normally 3 years; for replacement, contact a
specialist service centre, taking care to transfer the programming settings onto a MIDI
unit able to memorise System Exclusive messages.
CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICAL MAINS
•
Use the external power supply adapter supplied with the instrument only.
•
To avoid the risk of electric shock, never make connections with wet hands.
•
Make sure that the mains voltage is the same as that marked on the power supply
adapter.
CONNECTING TO OTHER INSTRUMENTS
•
Always use good quality screened cables. When disconnecting cables from sockets,
always take hold of the connector and not the cable itself; when winding cables, do not
knot or twist them.
•
Before making the connections ensure that the other units (especially amplification
and speaker systems) you are about to connect are switched off. This will prevent
noisy or even dangerous signal peaks.
