BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM
The memory for the capture system on your MDS organ is sustained by a Lithium battery.
This allows capture settings and related items to be retained in memory when the organ is
switched off or unplugged. Under normal circumstances, the Lithium battery should last for
several years. A built-in warning system will alert you when the battery becomes weak and
needs to be replaced. The green power light will flash for about ten seconds after the organ is
switched on if the battery is in need of replacement.
Should the battery in your MDS organ require replacement, contact your local Allen
authorized service representative.
CARE OF THE ORGAN
Your Allen Digital Computer Organ constitutes a major advance in long-term
maintenance-free operation. There are no regular maintenance procedures required and,
therefore, no periodic maintenance schedules to be observed.
Reasonable care will keep the instrument looking beautiful for years to come. The wood
surfaces may be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water. A mild
solution of lukewarm water and dish detergent may be used to remove fingerprints, etc.
Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use wax, sprays or oils on the finish. Satin finished surfaces will take on a semi-
gloss appearance when waxed and will eventually become yellowed.
Keys and stop tablets should be cleaned in the following manner: Use two clean cloths.
Immerse one in clear, lukewarm water and wring it thoroughly damp dry. Loosen the dirt
with this cloth, then polish immediately with the dry cloth. Do not use soap or detergent
on keys or stop tablets.
You have purchased a remarkable organ that not only faithfully reproduces the organ
traditions of the past but also anticipates the innovations of the future. Should you have
questions that are not addressed in this manual, please do not hesitate to contact your
local Allen Organ representative. Welcome to the family of satisfied Allen Organ
owners!
