WARNING
Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC
adaptor.
Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts in
it (expect when this manual provides specifi c instruc-
tions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to
your retailer, the nearest Hammond, or authorized
Hammond distributor, as listed on the “Service” page.
Never use or store the unit in places that are:
Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sun-
light in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on
top of heat-generating equipment)
Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet fl oors)
Humid
Exposed to rain
Dusty
Subject to high levels of vibration.
Be sure to use only AC adaptor supplied with the unit.
Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specifi ed on the AC adap-
tor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a diff erent po-
larity, or be designed for a diff erent voltage, so their
use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric
shock.
Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor
place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the
cord, producing severed elements and short circuits.
Damaged cords are fi re and shock hazards!
Do not allow any objects (e.g., fl ammable material,
coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks,
etc.) to penetrate the unit.
Immediately turn the power off , remove the AC adap-
tor from the outlet, and request servicing by your re-
tailer, the nearest Hammond, or authorized Hammond
distributor, as listed on the “Service” page when:
Th
e AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug
has been damaged; or
If smoke or unusual odor occurs
Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled
onto the unit; or
Th
e unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has
become wet); or
Th
e unit does not appear to operate normally or ex-
hibits a marked change in performance.
In households with small children, an adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable of follow-
ing all the rules essential for the safe operation of the
unit.
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not force the unit’s power supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other units. Be
especially careful when using extension cords - the to-
tal power used by all units you have connected to the
extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power
rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Exces-
sive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat
up and eventually melt through.
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with
your retailer, the nearest Hammond, or an authorized
Hammond distributor, as listed on the “Service” page.
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., fl ower
vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the
unit. Swift ly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit
using a dry, soft cloth.
