Notes About Ob-12; Notes About The Manual - Oberheim OB 12 Operating Manual

LOOKING AFTER THE PRODUCT
Do not apply excessive force to the structures and controls (knobs, switches).
Protect the instrument from stresses both in transit and in use. The instrument should be
transported in its original packaging or equivalent wrapping.
Do not place the OB-12 close to sources of heat, in damp or dusty places or in the vicinity of
strong magnetic fields.
When possible, do not place the instrument close to units which produce strong interference
such as radios, TV sets, monitors, etc...
Do not insert foreign bodies or liquids of any kind inside the equipment.
For cleaning, use only a soft cloth or compressed air; never use detergents, solvents or
alcohol.
Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight.
Do not hit the display or apply excessive force to it.
CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICAL MAINS
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not make the connections with wet hands.
Make sure that the mains voltage is as indicated on the lower panel.
CONNECTING TO OTHER INSTRUMENTS
Always use good quality screened cables. When disconnecting cables from sockets, always
take hold of the connector and not the cable itself; when coiling them, do not allow knots or
twists to form.
Before making the connections ensure that the other units (especially amplification and diffusion
systems) you are about to connect are switched off. This will prevent noisy or even hazardous
signal peaks.
Take good care of this manual.
Read all the information provided in this manual carefully. You will avoid wasting time and will
obtain the best performance from your instrument.
Codes or numbers in square brackets ([]) refer to the names of buttons, sliders or trimmers on
the instrument panel.
For example, [RATE] means the RATE trimmer.
