produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a
separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply

long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and
is not a cause for concern.

always make sure to turn off the power on all your
equipment before you make any connections.
• Power to this unit will be turned off automatically
after 30 minutes have passed without any of
its buttons being pressed (including time that
metronome is sounding), or 30 minutes have
passed since playback of a track has stopped.
