Precautions !! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

Location

Do not expose the instrument 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 the instrument is not in use.

The power adaptor should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.

Unplug the instrument during electric storms.

Avoid plugging the instrument 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 instrument and other devices to which it is con- nected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.

MIDI Connections

When connecting the VL70-m to MIDI equipment, be sure to use high- quality cables made especially for MIDI data transmission.

Avoid MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Longer cables can pick up electrical noise that can causes data errors.

Handling and Transport

Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the instrument.

Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.

Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.
