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.

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

its output jack. 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.
