Placement
•
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject
it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
•
When moved from one location to another where the temperature
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may
form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt
to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you
must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
•
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on this unit for
long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully
affect the finish.
Maintenance
•
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that
has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a
cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be
sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
As routine maintenance, you should wipe the striking surface using a
dry, soft cloth.
•
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
•
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the output jacks. Rough
handling can lead to malfunctions.
•
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts,
or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
•
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at
reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not
need to be concerned about those around you.
•
This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds
produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be
transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected,
take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors,
especially when using headphones.
•
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including
padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use
equivalent packaging materials.
•
If the surface of the beater you are using is not clean, the material used
for the striking surface could get dirty. Before performances, make sure
that the beater is clean before you use it.
