[. . . ] Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol as it may result in discoloration or deformation. Also pay close attention so as not to let the water and detergent come into contact with the cushions used in the product, it may result in deterioration. · When connecting and disconnecting cables, make sure you hold the cable by its plug.

If the Output Level is set too high, the dynamic range may be reduced, or result in problems such as double triggers (when a single stroke produces multiply triggered sounds). : Do not exer t excessive force on the level adjustment knob. Doing so may result in damage. I Replacing the Drum Head Just as on acoustic drums, the KP125's drum head will need to be replaced in time. When the head's condition deteriorates, please replace the head with a new head by yourself (we recommend Remo Coated Ambassador 12" drum heads). Other than the recommended drum head, you can use any drum head you prefer but, when a drum head that is different from the supplied or recommended drum head is used please understand that the feeling, sound, output level, etc. may be slightly different. NOTE : For sensing and sound dampening purposes, the KP125 utilizes a cushion that gives support to the drum head from within the pad. When replacing the drum head, make sure the cushions are positioned in the same manner as when the unit was shipped from the factory. The yellow cushion is placed on the bottom while the three gray cushions with holes are positioned so as the holes, other than the center hole, are staggered. Improper positioning of the cushions may alter the pad's feel, sound and output. LEVEL LEVEL Adjustment Knob LEVE L I About Replacing Worn Parts (Cushion, etc. ) · This product uses parts (drum head, cushion, Output Level Adjustment knob, output jacks, etc. ) that will wear or deteriorate over time. How these parts wear or deteriorate will depend upon the environment, length of time, etc. Please ask the dealer from whom you purchased the device about replacing the parts. To Increase the Sound Volume To change the volume of the sound assigned to the KP125, when the KP125 is used with the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS, first adjust the Output LEVEL as described previously, then use the (VOICE) EDIT mode to set the volume on the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS. Check the connections between the external devices and also the power switch, volume, etc. Make sure the volume setting assigned to the INPUT number on the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS to which the KP125 is connected is not set too low (refer to the previous "Increase the Volume" section) or the headphone's volume is set too low.
