CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the
possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are
not limited to, the following:
Location
• To avoid damage to your instruments wood, finish, or electronic compo-
nents, DO NOT expose this instrument to direct sunlight, high tempera-
tures/humidity or leave stored in an automobile.
• Do not use close to electronics such as speakers, TV, and radio. The
instrument’s electronic circuits may cause noise in the TV or radio.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden-
tally fall over.
Connections
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum.
• To prevent the possibility of electrical shock or fire, we recommend using
great caution when using this instrument in high humidity or wet weather
environments. We also recommend that you read all Owner’s Manuals for
the external equipment that you connect this musical instrument to.
Handling caution
• Never hold the instrument close to your face when adjusting or replacing
strings. A string may unexpectedly break damaging your eyes.
• If you cut the strings when replacing, do so after sufficiently loosening
the pegs. Sudden loss of string tension may damage the neck and the
rebounding strings may cause serious injury.
• After changing the strings, cut off the leftover string ends. String ends are
sharp and can cause injuries.
