• The USB connection may inject computer noise in the outputs of the Octatrack.
Should this occur, use balanced cables or use a battery operated computer. Do
not remove the safety grounding of your computer. It is there to protect against
electric shocks.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure many years of trouble free operation, please follow the advice below:
• Never use any aggressive cleaners on the casing or the LCD overlay. Remove
dust, dirt and fingerprints with a soft dry cloth. More persistent dirt can be
removed with a slightly damp cloth using only water.
• To avoid scratches or damage, never use sharp objects near the display. Also
avoid applying any pressure to the display itself.
• When transporting the Octatrack, preferably use the box and padding the unit
originally shipped with.
• Make sure you place the unit on a stable surface before use. If you mount the unit
in a rack, be sure to tighten all four screws in the rack mount holes.
• The memory used for storing patterns and parts is powered by a battery inside the
unit. It will hold data at least 6 years before needing replacement. If the battery
needs replacement, the “BATTERY LOW” message will appear in the display. Con-
tact Elektron support or your nearest repair center.
• Turn off the machine when it is not in use. Use the power switch.
