GETTING STARTED

Power:

panel, then connect the power adapter to a power source.
or
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back panel.
2. Insert 6 C-size batteries into the compartment. Make sure they are inserted with the
positive (+) and negative (-) poles positioned correctly.
3. Close the cover until it clicks into place.
Precautions:
If the sound of the drums becomes distorted, the batteries may need to be replaced.
We recommend replacing worn batteries as soon as possible.
When using the included power adapter, DISCOVER DRUMS will use that as the power source rather than using the
power of any installed batteries.
Always be sure batteries are inserted with the positive (+) and negative (-) poles positioned correctly.
Use batteries of the same type. Do not use different types of batteries together at once.
When not in use for long periods of time, remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the
liquid from inside the battery compartment.
Do not heat, disassemble, or dispose of batteries by throwing them into a fire.
