Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below:
■
Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid defor-
mation, 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.
●
Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
●
The power supply cord should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the
instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.
●
Unplug the instrument during electric storms.
●
Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC outlet as appliances
with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also
avoid using multi-plug adapters since these can result in reduced sound
quality, operation errors, and possibly damage.
●
To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is con-
nected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all
related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and
MIDI cables.
●
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of
the instrument.
●
Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the
cable.
●
Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
●
Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects
on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.
●
Clean the cabinet and panel 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 thinner.
●
Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to
and discolor the surface).
