CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus MD-1600 Electronic Keyboard is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your MD-1600 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the MD-1600 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the MD-1600 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam- age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the MD-1600 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema- ture wear of parts.

Handle the MD-1600 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir- cuit boards and cases and can cause the MD-1600 to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your MD-1600’s electronic parts.

Wipe the MD-1600 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter- gents to clean the MD-1600.

Modifying or tampering with the MD-1600’s internal components can cause a mal- function and might invalidate its warranty. If your MD-1600 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
