IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

•  To prevent faulty operation or malfunctions, 

power-off this unit before installing or replacing the 

batteries.

•  The life of the supplied batteries may be limited, since 

its primary purpose was to enable testing.

If operating this unit on batteries, please use alkaline 

batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.

Placement

•  Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other 

equipment containing large power transformers) may 

induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the 

orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from 

the source of interference.

•  This unit may interfere with radio and television 

reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such 

receivers.

•  Noise may be produced if wireless communications 

devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the 

vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when 

receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. 

Should you experience such problems, you should 

relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater 

distance from this unit, or switch them off.

•  Do not allow lighting devices that normally are used 

while their light source is very close to the unit (such 

as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon 

the same area of the unit for extended periods of 

time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

•  When moved from one location to another where the 

temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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 paste stickers, decals, or the like to this 

instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument 

may damage the exterior finish.

•  Do not place containers or anything else containing 

liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid 

has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure to 

promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.

Maintenance

•  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 the 

unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when 

using its jacks and connectors. 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.

•  To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the 

unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
