WARNING
Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adap-
tor.
Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts in it (ex-
pect when this manual provides specifi c instructions direct-
ing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the
nearest Hammond, or authorized Hammond distributor, as
listed on the “Service” page.
Never use or store the unit in places that are:
Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in
an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-
generating equipment)
Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet fl oors)
Humid
Exposed to rain
Dusty
Subject to high levels of vibration.
Be sure to use only AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also,
make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the
input voltage specifi ed on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC
adaptors may use a diff erent polarity, or be designed for a
diff erent voltage, so their use could result in damage, mal-
function, or electric shock.
Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place
heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, produc-
ing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are
fi re and shock hazards!
Do not allow any objects (e.g., fl ammable material, coins,
pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to pen-
etrate the unit.
Immediately turn the power off , remove the AC adaptor
from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the
nearest Hammond, or authorized Hammond distributor, as
listed on the “Service” page when:
Th
e AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug has
been damaged; or
If smoke or unusual odor occurs
Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto
the unit; or
Th
e unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has be-
come wet); or
Th
e unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits
a marked change in performance.
In households with small children, an adult should provide
supervision until the child is capable of following all the
rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not force the unit’s power supply cord to share an outlet
with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especial-
ly careful when using extension cords - the total power used
by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s
outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes)
for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insula-
tion on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your
retailer, the nearest Hammond, or an authorized Hammond
distributor, as listed on the “Service” page.
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., fl ower vases)
on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swift ly
wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft
cloth.
