shock.
[Power
Supply!
•
When
making any
connections with other
devices,
always
turn
off
the
power
to
all
equipment
first;
this will
help prevent
damage
or malfunction.
•
Do
not use
this
unit
on
the
same power
circuit
with
any
de-
vice that will
generate
line noise,
such
as a
motor
or variable
lighting system.
•
The power
supply
required for this unit
is
shown on
its
name-
plate.
Ensure that the
line
voltage of your
installation
meets
this
requirement.
•
Avoid
damaging
the
power
cord;
do not step on
it,
place
heavy
objects
on
it
etc.
•
When
disconnecting the
AC
adaptor from the

the cord.
•
If
the unit
is
to
remain unused
for a long period of time, un-
plug the
power
cord.
[Placement]

subject
the
unit to
temperature extremes
(e.g.
direct
sunlight
in
an
enclosed
vehicle).
Avoid using or
storing
the
unit
in
dusty or
humid
areas or areas that are subject to high
vibration
levels.
•
Using the
unit
near
power
amplifiers (or
other equipment
containing
large transformers)
may
induce hum.
•

vicinity
of
such
receivers.
[Maintenance]

wipe
the unit with a
soft,
dry
cloth (or
one
that has
been
slightly
dampened
with
water).
To remove
stubborn
dirt,
use a mild neutral 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
risk
of discoloration and/or deformation.
[Additional Precautions]
•
Protect the unit
from
strong impact.
•
Do
not allow
objects
or
liquids of
any
kind to penetrate
the
unit, in
the event of
such an
occurrence, discontinue use im-
mediately.
Contact
qualified service
personnel
as
soon
as
possible.
•
Never
strike
or apply strong pressure to the
display.
•
Should
a
malfunction occur
(or
if
you suspect there
is
a prob-
lem) discontinue use immediately. Contact
qualified service
personnel
as
soon
as possible.
•
A
small
amount
of noise
may
be heard
from
the
display,
and
thus should be considered normal.
•
To prevent the
risk
of
electric
shock, do not
open
the
unit
or
its
AC
adaptor.
[Memory
Backup]
•
The
unit contains a battery
which maintains the contents of
memory
while the
main
power
is
off.
The expected
life
of
this
battery
is
5 years or
more. However, to avoid the unexpected
loss
of
memory
data,
it
is
strongly
recommended
that
you
change
the
battery
every 5
years.
•
When
the battery
becomes
weak,
the following
message
will
appear
in
the
display: "Battery
Low
!".
Please
change
battery
as
soon as possible to avoid the
loss
of
memory
data.
•
Please
be aware
that the contents of
memory may
at
times
be
lost;
when
the
unit
is
sent for repairs
or
when
by
some
chance a malfunction has
occurred.
Important data should
be
stored
in
another MIDI
device
(e.g.
a sequencer), or
writ-
ten
down
on
paper. During
repairs,
due
care
is
taken to avoid
the
loss
of
data.
However,
in certain cases,
(such as
when
circuitry related
to
memory
itself
is
out of order)
we
regret
that
it
may
be
impossible to restore
the
data.
