Hardware Maintenance
Preventative measures to avoid non-warrantied damage
When purchased, record the serial number and affix receipt to inside back cover for indisputable record of
ownership in case of theft or damage which is possible due to portability of the device.
Your serial number will be required for support by your distributor or Cyclone Analogic online.
Cleaning
Use a soft slightly water-dampened cloth with no chemicals such as window cleaner, alcohol or paint
thinners. They may stain or remove casing paint. If liquids are spilled into the system immediately
disconnect power to prevent short circuitry and allow to air dry.
Batteries
It is recommended to use batteries only when necessary in travel or when the adapter is not convenient to
use. When batteries are not being used please be sure to remove them and do not store your Bass Bot
with batteries installed to prevent damage caused by leakage from aged batteries.
AC Adapter
Only use the supplied power adapter. Using another adapter will often result in a loud buzzing sound if
incorrect polarity is used. However, incorrect and excessive voltages from the use of incorrect adapters
(over 12 volts) may result in ‘throwing’ internal safety fuses. This is evidenced by no power indications,
including when powered by batteries.
If this should occur, your unit is not ‘dead’ but in protection mode. The Bass Bot may recover and work
normally once you’ve corrected any problems with the power adapter, batteries, or external equipment that
is connected to the Bass Bot. However, some causes of such a failure will require servicing, requiring an
authorized technician’s full inspection and potentially repair to fix the problem.
