1.1 NOTES ON THE OB5

LOOKING AFTER THE PRODUCT
• Do not apply excessive force to the structures and controls (knobs, switches, etc.).
• Protect the instrument from heavy stresses during both transport and use. The
instrument should only be transported in its original packaging or an equivalent.
• Do not place the OB5 close to heat sources, in damp or dusty places, or close to
strong magnetic fields.
• When possible, do not place the instrument close to units which produce strong
interference, such as radios, TVs, monitors, etc.
• Never put foreign objects or liquids of any kind inside the device, for any reason.
• For cleaning, use only a soft cloth or compressed air; never use detergents, solvents
or alcohol.
• Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight.
• Never hit or apply excessive force to the display.
• The instrument contains a buffer battery which maintains the data present in the RAM
memory. The lifetime of this battery is normally 3 years; for replacement, contact a
specialist service centre and take care to transfer all programming data to a MIDI unit
capable of memorising Exclusive System messages.
CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICAL MAINS
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not make connections with wet hands.
• Connect the power supply lead to a mains jack complete with earth contact.
CONNECTING TO OTHER INSTRUMENTS
• Always use good quality screened cables. When disconnecting cables from connectors,
always take hold of them by the connector and not by the cable itself; when coiling,
take care not to form knots or to twist cables.
• Before making connections, check that the other units (especially amplification and
speaker systems) you are about to connect are switched off. This will avoid noisy or
