IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
• 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.
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, 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.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to
remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such
objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect
the nish.
Maintenance
• 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.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using
its output jack. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
• When 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.
• This instrument is designed to minimize the
extraneous sounds produced when it’s played.
However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted
through oors and walls to a greater degree than
expected, take care not to allow these sounds to
become a nuisance others nearby.
• 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 aect the performance or functionality
of the product, and you may continue using it with
condence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the
pad, but this will not aect the Pad’s function.
