POWER
Use only the 12 volt AC/AC 1 Amp output power supply provided with this unit. If you should
ever lose this power supply, please contact us for a replacement.
CARE
Avoid exposing the unit to smoke, damp, dusty, or extreme hot and cold environments. To clean the
unit, use a soft damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, as these may harm the surfaces and
finish of the unit.
BACKUP BATTERY
The Revolution does contain an internal 3.6 volt backup battery for the sequencer’s RAM. This
battery will last for years. However at some point in the future this battery may need to be replaced.
As a general rule always back up your patterns and songs using the sysex dump feature to prevent the
accidental loss of your work. And definitely save your work before the battery is replaced, as all
information will be lost when the battery is removed.
To replace the battery yourself, use the following procedure. Gently pull up on the 14 control knobs
to remove them. Remove the 3 hex screws on the bottom/front of the unit, and the 3 hex screws on
the rear jack panel of the unit. Lift the front panel off the unit and locate the battery on the front right-
hand side of the main PC board. Desolder the old battery and replace only with a TL-5140/P type
lithium battery of 3.6 volts rated at 2,100 mAh. Once the battery has been replaced reinstall the front
panel, screws and knobs.
If you would prefer that we do this service for you, please contact us for more information.
FUSE
Should the fuse in the Revolution need replacing, use the following procedure to change the fuse.
Gently pull up on the 14 control knobs to remove them. Remove the 3 hex screws on the bottom/front
of the unit, and the 3 hex screws on the rear jack panel of the unit. Lift the front panel off the unit and
locate the fuse near the power switch. Remove the old fuse and replace with only a 1 amp fast-acting
fuse. Once the fuse has been replaced reinstall the front panel, screws and knobs.
