Page 3: Precautions
• Unplug the AC power adaptor during electric storms. • Avoid plugging the AC power adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possible damage. ■ Turn Power OFF When Making Connections • To avoid damage to the SILENT Cello™ and other devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio cables. ■ Handling and Transport • Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts. • Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable. • Disconnect all cables before moving the unit. • Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the unit can result in scratches and more serious damage. ■ Cleaning • Clean the body and control 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. ■ Electrical Interference • This unit contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or televi- sion receivers. If this occurs, move it further away from the affected equipment. Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation. -
