Important Precautions

Read the following before operating the TransAcoustic™ piano.

■

Warnings

• Do not locate the TransAcoustic piano in a place subject

to excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct sunlight.
This could be a fire hazard and may damage the finish and
internal parts.

• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or electric

shock.

• Connect the plug on the TransAcoustic piano power cable

to a compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will present a
fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable plug is
not compatible with your AC outlet, consult your dealer.

• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This

can overload the AC outlet, and lead to fire and electric
shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some
devices.

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. A

damaged power cable is a potential fire and electric shock
hazard. If the power cable runs under a carpet, make sure
heavy objects, including the TransAcoustic piano, are not
placed on top of the cable.

• If the power cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a bare wire is

exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the
TransAcoustic piano in this condition is a fire and shock
hazard.

• When disconnecting the power cable from an AC

outlet, always pull from the plug. Never pull the cable.
Damaging the cable in this way is a potential fire and
electric shock hazard.

• The cover of the unit should be removed only by qualified

service technicians.

• Do not place liquid containers such as vases, potted

plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles, medicines, etc., on top of
the TransAcoustic piano.

• Do not try to modify the TransAcoustic piano, as this

could lead to fire or electric shock hazard.

• When moving the TransAcoustic piano to another

location, turn off the power, remove the power plug
from the AC outlet, and remove all cables connected to
external devices.

■

Cautions

• Turn off all audio devices when connecting to the

TransAcoustic piano. Refer to the user’s guide for each
device. Use the correct cables and connect as specified.

• Set the volume level on all the devices to minimum

before applying power.

• Do not play the TransAcoustic piano at a high volume for

extended periods; you may damage your hearing. This is
especially important when using headphones. If you think
your hearing ability is impaired, consult your doctor.

• If the TransAcoustic piano is worked extremely hard

—that is, prolonged playback of very “busy” songs —
the thermal relay of the TransAcoustic piano may trip.
The thermal relay will automatically reset when the
TransAcoustic piano has cooled down.

• If you notice any abnormality — such as smoke, odor, or

noise — turn off the TransAcoustic piano immediately,
and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult
your dealer for repair.

• If a foreign object or water gets inside the TransAcoustic

piano turn it off immediately, and remove the power plug
from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer.

• Even when the instrument is turned off, electricity is still

flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When
you are not using the instrument for a long time or during
electrical storms, remove the power plug from the AC outlet.

• Always remove the power plug from the AC outlet before

cleaning the TransAcoustic piano. Leaving the power
plug connected presents a risk of electric shock.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a

chemical cloth to clean the TransAcoustic piano.

• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on top of

the TransAcoustic piano. The color and finish of the
TransAcoustic piano can be damaged.

• Do not place heavy objects on the TransAcoustic piano.

Doing so can damage the TransAcoustic piano.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the TransAcoustic piano.

However, if you discover a stain, carefully use a soft
damp cloth to remove it.
