about specific functions.
Taking Care of Your Digital Drum Kit
Location
• To avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage, do not expose the unit to direct
sunlight, high temperature sources, or excessive humidity.
Power Supply
• Turn the power switch OFF when the SD5X is not in use.
• The AC adapter should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the SD5X is not to be used for an
extended period of time.
• Avoid plugging the AC adapter into an AC outlet that is also powering high-consumption appliances
such as electric heaters or televisions. Also avoid using multi plug adapters since these can reduce
sound quality, cause operation errors and result in possible damage.
• To avoid damage, turn OFF the SD5X’s power switch and all related devices prior to connecting
or disconnecting cables.
Handling and Transport
• Never apply excessive force to controls, connectors, and other parts.
• Unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly. Do not pull on the cable.
• Disconnect all cables before moving the module.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the module can result
in scratches and more serious damage.
Cleaning
• Clean the module with a dry, soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
• To avoid discoloration, do not place vinyl objects on top of module.
Electrical Interference
• The module contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or
television receivers. If this occurs, move the SD5X further away from the affected equipment.
Service and Modification
• There are no user serviceable parts in the drum module.
• Do not attempt to open the drum module or make any change in the circuits or parts of the unit. This
would void the warranty.
Congratulations!
