IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Power Supply
1. Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor
or variable lighting system).
2. Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. Th
is will help prevent malfunctions and/
or damage to speakers or other devices.
3. This unit features an Auto Power Off function that
automatically turns the power off if the unit is not operated
for a specifi ed period of time. Th
e setting will revert to its
default value if not backed up before the power is turned off .
Placement
1. Using the unit near power amplifi ers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
2. Th
is device may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
3. Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call,
or while conversing. Should you experience such problems,
you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a
greater distance from this unit, or switch them off .
4. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle,
or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do
not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their
light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or
powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit
for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
5. When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very diff erent, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or
malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Th
erefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
6. Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on
the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor
or otherwise harmfully aff ect the fi nish.
7. Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior fi nish.
Maintenance
8. To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly
dampened.
9. To remove stubborn dirt off plastic parts, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards,
be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of
strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the wood.
Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the fi nish.
10. Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
1. Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper
operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of
losing important data, we recommend that you periodically
save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the
unit’s memory in USB Flash Drive.
2. Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a
sequencer) once it has been lost. Hammond assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
3. 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.
4. When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself - never pull on the cable. Th
is will avoid
causing short circuits, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.
5. To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the
unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those
around you (especially when it is late at night).
6. When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
