IMPORTANT NOTES

291a
In addition to the items listed under "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on pages 2–3, please read and observe the following:
Placement
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

Maintenance

401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.

Additional Precautions

553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal
elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it's played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when
performing at night and when using headphones.
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
add
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage
of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a
white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during
product testing. This does not affect the performance or
functionality of the product, and you may continue using it
with confidence.
