Using an AC- Adaptor

Using Batteries

Power will be automatically drawn from the  AC  adaptor 

if an optional AC adaptor is connected while batteries are 
installed in the instrument. 

It is recommended that you replace worn batteries as soon 
as possible. When battery voltage drops, the display will dim 

and / or the sound will become distorted,  when this occurs, 
replace the batteries with a complete set of six new batteries

of the same type.

NEVER mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries

(alkaline, magnesium, etc.), Batteries by different makers, 
or batteries from the same maker but of different types.

Misuse may cause the instrument to become hot, result in 

fire, or battery leakage.

Also, to prevent damage due to battery leakage, remove 
all the batteries from the instrument when it is not to be 

used for an extended period of time. 
Batteries left in an unused instrument will also loose their

power overtime.

Turn off the power on all equipment before making 

any connections.

Do not use adaptors other than the one specified.

The technical specification of the adaptor is DC 12V

output, center positive type.

Auto Power Off
In order to save energy, we have designed the “Automatic

Shutdown” function. With this function, this product will
shutdown automatically when you have left it idle for more 
than30 minutes.
If you don't need this function, just press and hold the
[PLAY/STOP] button then turn the drum on.
