IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 3–4, please read and observe the 
following:

Placement

354b

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. 
Also, 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.

356

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain 
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can 
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

357

Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower 
vases) on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, 
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the 
unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit 
using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

401a

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.

402

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any 
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or 
deformation.

Additional Precautions

553

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.

556

When connecting / 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.

104

Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming 
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be 
placed so they are out of the reach of children.

................................................................................................

106

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on 
the unit.

................................................................................................

Do not apply excessive force to the sensor located 
below the center of the head. Doing so can interfere 
with accurate detection, and may damage it.

................................................................................................

Due to the nature of the materials used in the 
sensor, changes in room temperature may affect 
the sensitivity of the sensor.

................................................................................................

Assemble the KD-80 with care to avoid danger of 
pinching the fingers.

................................................................................................

To keep the KD-80 from slipping or moving during 
play, the tips of the legs installed on the stand are 
pointed. Handle with care to avoid injury.

................................................................................................

Be sure to tighten the head tension before use. 
Striking the head when the head tension is loose 
may damage the sensor and head.
