PREVENTING RADIO/TV DISTURBANCE

This instrument operates on the radio frequency band. If it is not installed correctly and strictly in compliance with the instructions provided it may disturb the reception of radio-television appliances. Although the instrument you have purchased has been designed in compliance with applicable laws and in such a way as to provide reasonable protection against such disturbances, there is no guarantee that these will not occur. To check whether any disturbance you are experiencing is in fact produced by your instrument, turn it off to see if the disturbance disappears. Turn the instrument on again to see if the disturbance reappears. Once you are certain that your instrument is in fact causing the disturbance, take any of the following measures:

• Adjust the antenna of the radio or TV receiver.
• Place the instrument in a different position with respect to the radio or TV receiver.
• Place the instrument further away from the receiver.
• Connect the plug of the instrument to another socket so that the instrument and the receiver are connected to two different circuits.
• If necessary, call in a servicing technician.

POWER SUPPLY

• When you connect the instrument to other appliances (amplifier, mixer, Midi instruments etc.), ensure that all the units are off.
• Read the recommendations regarding Radio and TV disturbances.
