EFFECTS ON OTHER ELECTRONIC

EQUIPMENT

Since this unit incorporates digital circuitry,

simultaneous use of other equipment such as TVs,
radios, etc. in close proximity may cause noise and

erroneous operation. If this occurs, separate the

affected units sufficiently to eliminate the problem. It is

also a good idea to use separate line filters on each

piece of equipment.

CAUTION

The RX15 pattern memory locations 00 through 36

contain factory-programmed rhythm patterns when the
unit is shipped. Use the SAVE function (described on
page 21) to save these patterns on cassette tape
before programming your own patterns into these

locations in order to prevent loss of the pre-
programmed patterns.
