Handling and Transport · Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts. · Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable. · Disconnect all cables before moving the unit. · Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the unit can result in scratches and more serious damage. Power Supply · Turn the power switch OFF when not in use. · If you use an AC power adaptor, unplug the adaptor from the AC outlet if not to be used for an extended period of time. · Unplug the AC power adaptor during electric storms. · Avoid plugging the AC power adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possibly damage. Cleaning · Clean the cabinet and panel 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. · Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the unit (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface). Electrical Interference · This unit contains electric circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. When checking the bridge's vertical alignment, make sure it is compared to the top surface (line "B") on which the bridge stands. 3 : Adjusting bridge height] · Before adjusting bridge height, loosening the strings to relieve pressure on the adjusters will make it easier to rotate the adjusters. Rotating the adjusters with without reducing string tension can result in damage to the bridge or strings, etc. · When adjusting bridge height, make sure the height of both legs is kept the same. Increasing string tension on legs that are unequal in height can result poor surface contact of the bridge's feet, causing inferior sound quality, noise, damage to the bridge, etc (Fig. 3 *1). 7 · The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The 1st string is tuned to G, the 2nd string to D, the 3rd string to A, and the 4th string to E. Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc. , and adjust the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs. Lower pitch Raise pitch 2nd string (D) 1st string (G) 3rd string (A) 4th string (E) · After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece side of the bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the strings and carefully re-align the bridge using both hands. · If, after tuning, the tailpiece is leaning to one side, slightly loosen the strings and use both hands to adjust the tailpiece so its sides are straight and even. After the tailpiece is adjusted, increase string tension evenly and retune. [. . . ] The string may suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries. Winding the Strings 1 Hook the string's ball end into the string hole on the tailpiece. Make sure that the ball end is securely positioned in the end of the string hole slit. * If the ball end is larger than the string hole, thread the opposite end of the string through the hole from the back side of the tailpiece. 2 Pull the string down toward the end pin and wrap the string around the end of the tailpiece making sure it fits into its corresponding groove at the bottom of the tailpiece. Pull the string up and over the bridge. String Tailpiece Ball End Ball End 11 3 Insert the end of the string into the hole on the peg, turn the peg and make one or two wraps to one side of the hole as shown in the illustration below, then make the remaining wraps in the opposite direction. When looking at the front of the instrument, the first couple of wraps on the 1st (G) and 2nd (D) strings should be to the left of the hole, where as on the 3rd (A) and 4th (E) strings, the first wraps should be made to the right.
