roubleshooting

• Electrical interference 

For safety considerations, the
606 has been designed to
provide maximum protection
against the emission of
electromagnetic radiation from
inside the device, and protection
from external interference.
However, equipment that is very
susceptible to interference or
that emits powerful
electromagnetic waves should
not be placed near the 606, as
the possibility of interference
cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control
device, the 606 included,
electromagnetic interference can

cause malfunctioning and can
corrupt or destroy data. Care
should be taken to minimize the
risk of damage.

• Cleaning 

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the
606. If necessary, slightly
moisten the cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleanser, wax, or
solvents (such as paint thinner or
cleaning alcohol), since these
may dull the finish or damage
the surface.

Please keep this manual in a
convenient place for future
reference.
