TAKING CARE OF YOUR DIGITAL PIANO
This Suzuki digital piano will supply you with years of musical enjoyment if you follow the simple rules listed below.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
This product should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when,
Š the power supply cord or the plug has been dam-
aged,
Š liquid has been spattered into the unit or it has been
exposed to rain,
Š the instrument does not appear to operate normally
or exhibits a marked change in performance,
Š the instrument has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
Š Do not attempt to open the piano or make any
change in the circuits or parts of the unit.
HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Š Never apply excessive force to the controls, connec-
tors or other parts of the instrument.
Š Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not
by pulling on the cable.
Š Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
Š Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the instrument can result
in scratches and/or more serious damage.
Š Carefully check the amplifier volume control before
stating to play. Excessive volume can cause perma-
nent hearing loss.
CLEANING
Š Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth. A
wax based polish may be used on the cabinet,
although rubbing with a soft cloth will usually
suffice. Do not use paint thinner or petrochemical
based polishes.
Š To maintain the luster of the keys and buttons wipe
with a clean, lightly dampened cloth, and then
polish with a soft dry cloth.
LOCATION
Do not expose the instrument to the following condi-
tions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more
serious damage,
Š direct sunlight (near a window),
Š high temperatures (near a heat source, outside, or
in a car during the daytime),
Š excessive humidity,
Š excessive dust,
Š strong vibration.
Š Leave enough space around the piano for it to be
properly ventilated.
Š This instrument contains digital circuitry and may
cause interference if placed too close to radio or
television receivers. If interference occurs, move
the instrument further away from the affected
equipment.
Š Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument,
vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface.
POWER
Š Turn the power switch off when the instrument is
not in use.
Š To avoid damage to the instrument and other
devices to which it is connected, turn the power
switches of all related devices off prior to connec-
tion or disconnection of MIDI cables.
Š Turn the power off if the main cable is damaged or
the instrument is spattered with liquid.
Š Do not switch the unit on and off in quick succession,
this places an undue load on the electronic compo-
nents.
Š Unplug the AC power cord during an electrical
storm.
Š Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC
outlet as appliances with high power consumption,
such as electric heaters or ovens.
