IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■ LOCATION
To avoid malfunction do not use this un.it in the following locations for long
periods of time:
• In direct sunlight.
• Exposed to extremes of temperature or humidity.
• In sandy or dusty places.
■ POWER
SUPPLY
• Use only with rated AC voltage.
If
you will be using this unit in a country
having a different voltage. be sure to obtain the proper transformer to
convert to rated voltage.
• To help prevent noise and degraded sound quality, avoid using the
same outlet as other equipment or branching off extension cords shared
by other equipment.
■ INPUT/OUTPUT
JACKS AND CONNECTION CORDS
Be sure to use standard "guitar" cables with phone plugs, such as the
cable supplied with this instrument, for input and output connections to the
rear panel of the DW-8000. Never insert any other kind of plug into these
jacks.
■ PREVENTING
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
As a microprocessor based device, the DW-8000 is extremely flexible 1 in
operation , yet may possibly perform erratically
if
exposed to electrical in-
terference from other electrical devices and lluoresoent lamps. Avoid oper-
ating the DW-8000 near possible sources of interference.
If
something
seems to be wrong, try turning off the power, waiting about ten seconds,
then !urning it back on. This resets the computer circuits to their initial
state so performance should return to normal.
■ HANDLE
GENTLY
Knobs and switches are designed to provide positive operation with a light
touch. Excessive force may cause damage.
■ MAINTENANCE
Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Never use paint thinner, benzene
or other solvents.
■ KEEP THIS
MANUAL
Store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
■ MEMORY
BACKUP
•To protect your programmed memory contents, the DW-8000 utilizes a
built-in rechargeable backup battery power supply. Battery life is rated
at live years or more, so replacement
is
recommended after five years,
Contact your Karg dealer or authori2ed service center at that time.
• For maximum security, save your sound programs on tape, using the
built-in tape interface system. Then ii memory contents are accidentally
erased or altered, you can simply load the data back into DW-8000 inter-
nal memory in seconds!
