IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
• 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.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
• 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 allow rubber, vinyl, or similar
materials to remain on this unit for long
periods of time. Such objects can discolor
or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
• Do not put anything that contains water on
this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans,
etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any
liquid that spills on the unit using a dry,
soft cloth.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a
soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly
dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be
sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft,
dry cloth.
• 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.
• 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.
• The snare stand is supported by means
of a tripod. When installing the drum set,
make sure the legs of the tripod are opened
wide enough to keep the equipment from
falling over.
• The rubber portion 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.
• Do not insert your hands or fingers in the
locations marked by the arrows. Otherwise,
you risk injury and possible damage to this
unit’s parts.
