About WARNING and CAUTION Notices About the Symbols
ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
Placement
• This unit may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this unit in
the vicinity of such receivers.
• When moved from one location to another
where the temperature and/or humidity is
very different, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the unit. Damage or
malfunction may result if you attempt to use
the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
• Do not place containers or anything else
containing liquid on top of this unit. Also,
whenever any liquid has been spilled on the
surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe
it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility
of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using
the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls;
and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable.
This way you will avoid causing shorts, or
damage to the cable’s internal elements.
• This instrument is designed to minimize
the extraneous sounds produced when it’s
played. However, since sound vibrations can
be transmitted through floors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not
to allow these sounds to become a nuisance
others nearby.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is
treated with a preservative to maintain its
performance. With the passage of time, this
preservative may appear on the surface as
a white stain, or reveal how the pads were
struck during product testing. This does not
affect the performance or functionality of
the product, and you may continue using it
with confidence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration
of the pad, but this will not affect the pad’s
function.
