IMPORTANT NOTES

556
• 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.
558a
• 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 (especially when it is late at night).
558d
• 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
performing at night and when using headphones.
559a
• 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.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables
that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use
of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low,
or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
927rev
• Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you
may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that
the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this
device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of
other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal
electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if
you are concerned about this, use the batteries (alkaline
batteries).
928
• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of
newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four
corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and
controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons
or controls get damaged.
929
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to
avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
