GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Power source

•Be sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate before connecting to the mains.

•DC power cannot be used to power this instrument.

•If the instrument is to remain unused for long periods of time, remove the power cord from its wall outlet. For safety purposes, remove the power cord in cases of storms with lightning.

Handling the power cord

•Never touch the power cord or its plug with wet hands.

•Never pull on the cord to remove it from the wall socket, always pull the plug.

•Never forcibly bend the power cord.

•If the power cord is scarred, cut or broken, or has a bad contact, it will be a potential fire hazard or source of serious electric shock. NEVER use a damaged power cord; have it replaced by a qualified technician.

If water (or other liquid) gets into the instrument

•Do not allow liquids to penetrate the instrument. Do not place containers of liquids on the instru- ment. If water or liquids penetrate the instrument, remove the power cord from the wall socket at once, and contact the store where the unit was purchased.

•As a general precaution, never open the unit and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry.

If the instrument plays in an abnormal way

•Turn off the power immediately, remove the power cord from the mains outlet and contact the store where it was purchased.

•Discontinue using the unit at once. Failure to do so may result in additional damage or other unexpected damage or accident.

Important notes

•Do not place heavy objects on the instrument and avoid leaning on it.

•Before turning on the instrument, be sure to set the volume to a reasonable level (master volume slider at about two thirds of the course).

•Before connecting your instrument to other devices, always remember to turn off the power to all units; this will help to prevent damage or malfunction.

General user maintenance

•Clean the outer surface of your instrument using a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth.

•Never use industrial cleaners, detergents, abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or polishes as they may damage the instrument finish.

•Always turn off the power supply after use and never turn the unit on and off repeatedly in quick succession as this places an undue load on the electronic components.
