Taking Care or Your Digital Drum Set Your digital drum set will give you years of playing if you follow these basic steps below: Location Do not expose the unit to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more seri- ous damage. Ɣ Direct sunlight. Ɣ High temperature (near a heat source, or in a car during the day time). Excessive humidity. Ɣ Excessive dust. Ɣ Strong vibration. Power Supply Ɣ Turn the power switch OFF when the AXE580DS not in use. Ɣ If an AC adaptor is used, it should be un- plugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time. Ɣ Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms. Ɣ Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC outlet as an appliance with high power con- sumption, such as electric heaters or an oven. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in slower performance, operation er- rors, and possibly damage. Turn Power OFF When Mak- ing Connections Ɣ To avoid damaging to the AXE800DM and other devices that may be connected to it, turn OFF power switches of all related devices prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. Handling and Transport Ɣ Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the AXE800DM. Ɣ Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, but not pulling on the cable. Ɣ Disconnect all cables before moving the as AXE580DS. Ɣ Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the AXE800DM can result in scratches and more serious damage.
