Your Silent Violin™ will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rulesgiven below:■ Location
Do not expose it to the following conditions to avoid
deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
•Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
•High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source,
outside, or in a car during the daytime).
•Excessive humidity.
•Excessive dust.
•Strong vibration.
■ Power Supply
•Turn the power switch OFF when not in use.
•If you use an AC power adaptor, unplug the
adaptor from the AC outlet if not to be used for an
extended period of time.
•Unplug the AC power adaptor during electric
storms.
•Avoid plugging the AC power adaptor into the
same AC outlet as appliances with high power
consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens.
Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these
can result in reduced sound quality and possibly
damage.
■ Turn Power OFF When Making Connections
•To avoid damage to the Silent Violin™ and other
devices to which it is connected (a sound system,
for example), turn the power switches of all
related devices OFF prior to connecting or
disconnecting audio cables.
■ Handling and Transport
•Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors or other parts.
•Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly,
not by pulling on the cable.
•Disconnect all cables before moving the unit.
•Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the unit can result in
scratches and more serious damage.
■ Cleaning
•Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
•A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
•
Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
•Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the unit
(vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).
■ Electrical Interference
•This unit contains electric circuitry and may cause
interference if placed too close to radio or
television receivers. If this occurs, move it further
away from the affected equipment.
