Important

Read the following before operating the Disklavier.

Warnings

•Do not locate the Disklavier in a place subject to excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct sunlight. This could be a fire hazard and may damage the finish and internal parts.

•Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or electric shock.

•Connect the plug on the Disklavier power cable to a compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will present a fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable plug is not compatible with your AC outlet, consult your dealer.

•Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and lead to fire and electric shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some devices.

•Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. A damaged power cable is a potential fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable runs under a carpet, make sure heavy objects, including the Disklavier, are not placed on top of the cable.

•If the power cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the Disklavier in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.

•When disconnecting the power cable from an AC outlet, always pull from the plug. Never pull the cable. Damaging the cable in this way is a potential fire and electric shock hazard.

•The cover of the unit should be removed only by qualified service technicians.

•Do not place liquid containers such as vases, potted plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles, medicines, etc., on top of the Disklavier.

•Do not try to modify the Disklavier, as this could lead to fire or electric shock hazard.

•When moving the Disklavier to another location, turn off the power, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and remove all cables connected to external devices.

Cautions

•Turn off all audio devices when connecting to the Disklavier. Refer to the user’s guide for each device. Use the correct cables and connect as specified.

•Set the volume level on all the devices to minimum before applying power.

•Do not play the Disklavier at a high volume for extended periods; you may damage your hearing. This is especially important when using headphones. If you think your hearing ability is impaired, consult your doctor.

•If the Disklavier is worked extremely hard — that is, prolonged playback of very “busy” songs — the Disklavier’s thermal relay may trip. The thermal relay will automatically reset when the Disklavier has cooled down.

•If you notice any abnormality — such as smoke, odor, or noise — turn off the Disklavier immediately, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair.

•If a foreign object or water gets inside the Disklavier turn it off immediately, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer.

•If you plan not to use the Disklavier for a long period of time (such as when you are on vacation), disconnect the electrical mains.

•Always remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the Disklavier. Leaving the power plug connected presents a risk of electric shock.

•Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the Disklavier.

•Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on top of the Disklavier. The color and finish of the Disklavier can be damaged.

•Do not place heavy objects on the Disklavier. Doing so can damage the Disklavier.
