Precautions
■ Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deforma-
tion, discoloration, or more serious damage.
•
Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
•
High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the
daytime).
•
Excessive humidity.
•
Excessive dust.
•
Strong vibration.
■ Power Supply
•
Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
•
The power supply cord should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the
instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.
•
Unplug the instrument during electric storms.
•
Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC outlet as appliances with
high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using
multi-plug adapters since these can result in reduced sound quality and
possibly damage.
■ Turn Power OFF When Making Connections
•
To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is con-
nected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related
devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.
■ MIDI Connections
•
When connecting the TG500 to MIDI equipment, be sure to use high-quality
cables made especially for MIDI data transmission.
•
Avoid MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Longer cables can pick up
electrical noise that can causes data errors.
■ Handling and Transport
•
Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the
instrument.
•
Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the
cable.
•
Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
•
Physcal shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on
the instrument can result in scratches and more seious damage.
■ Cleaning
•
Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
•
A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
•
Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
•
Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to and
discolor the surface).
