USING ON BATTERY: Recommended: Rechargeable Exide 12V battery no. EP 7-12 ( battery not included). In
case of AC Mains power failure, remove the AC Mains cord and connect the battery cord provided to the socket
market 'BAT'. Connect the other end of the cord to a 12V battery pack, ENSURING THAT THE RED LEAD IS
CONNECTED TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL AND THE BLACK LEAD IS CONNECTED TO THE NEGATIVE
TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Changing strings: Use only good quality magnetic ('Electro') strings to ensure that all the strings are picked up
evenly. The 'Sunadavinodini' uses strings with a metal bead looped at one end. Hence use only strings specially
made for the Sunadavinodini. (available as accessories on our website www.radel.in). Insert the free end of the
string through the hole on the bridge and pull it right up to the tuning keys at the tail of the veena.
Insert the end of the string into the hole on the tuning shaft. Cut off excess length of the string so that only about
three or four turns of the string are coiled around the tuning rod. Turn the tuning key so that the wire coils around
the rod from the top. Use the correct gauge of wire for each string depending on the pitch.
2. Adjustment of frets: All the frets are adjustable and can be moved to any position along the fret-board. Use a
No.7 spanner (supplied with the instrument) to slightly loosen the nuts below each end of the fret. Move the fret
to any position and check for the correctness of the note. After ascertaining the correct position, tighten the nuts
on both ends of the fret without changing its position. CAUTION: Do not apply excessive force on the nuts as this
is likely to damage the threads of the nut.
