IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the
following:
Placement
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
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.
add
• The hi-hat stand is supported by means of a tripod. When
installing the hi-hat, make sure the legs of the tripod are
opened wide enough to keep the equipment from falling
over.
add
• The hi-hat’s rubber surface may turn white, but this has no
effect on the hi-hat’s function.
add
• Do not remove the special VH-11 clutch from the hi-hat or
disassemble the clutch.
add
• When not using the hi-hat for extended periods, store the
hi-hat in the open position to prevent placing any stress on
the motion sensor unit.
add
• High-precision sensors are located at the portion of the
motion sensor unit indicated by the arrow in the left figure
below. Take care not to subject this area to excessive shock,
and do not allow any foreign objects to enter any gaps.
fig.SensorNote
add
• Over long periods of use, the portion of the motion sensor
unit that comes into contact with the hi-hat (the damper)
may become worn at the points indicated by the arrows in
the right figure above.
Such damper wear may prevent proper adjustment of the
offset and may cause the hi-hat to swing with an unnatural
motion. If this occurs, replace the damper. For more infor-
mation on replacing the damper, contact Roland Service.
