• DC power cannot be used to power this instrument.
Handling the power cord
• Never touch the power cord or its plug with wet hands.
• Never pull on the cord to remove it from the wall socket, always pull the plug.
• Never forcibly bend the power cord.
• If the power cord is scarred, cut or broken, or has a bad contact, it will be a potential fire hazard or source of serious
electric shock. NEVER use a damaged power cord; have it replaced by a qualified technician.
If water gets into the instrument
• Remove the power cord from the wall socket at once, and contact the store where the unit was purchased.
• The top surface of your instrument should never be used as a shelf for flower vases and other containers which hold
liquids.
Metal items etc. inside the unit
• Do not permit metal items or other materials to fall inside the unit.
Metal items may result in electric shock or damage.
• Be especially careful with regards to this point when children are near the unit. They should be warned never to try to put
anything inside, and never to slide a hand into the unit while you or other persons are playing.
• If articles do fall inside, remove the power cord from the wall socket at once and, if necessary, contact the store where the
unit was purchased.
• As a general precaution, never open the unit and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry.
If the instrument plays in an abnormal way
• Turn off the power immediately, remove the power cord from the mains outlet and contact the store where it was pur-
chased.
• Discontinue using the unit at once. Failure to do so may result in additional damage or other unexpected damage or
accident.
General user maintenance
• Clean the cabinet and keys of your RPS using a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use industrial cleaners, detergents, abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or polishes as they may damage the instru-
ment finish.
• Always turn off the power supply after use and never turn the unit on and off repeatedly in quick succession as this places
an undue load on the electronic components.
