Serious injury or even lethal accidents Electrical Hazard Short circuits Damage Fire
Further and other risks are possible; therefore, this list does not claim to be complete. GEWA G3 & G5 Quick Start Guide I 5

WARNING

Electrical Hazard
Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing liquids. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases or glasses, on or near the apparatus. The mains plug shall remain readily operable. Never use damaged power supplies/cables. Install power supplies/cables firmly to avoid the risk of damage. Even low electric currents can lead to serious injuries and even death! Never open the drum console. Never insert water or liquids into the drum console. Never clean the digital drum console with a wet cloth. Never plug in or unplug the console with wet hands and never pull on the cable as it may be
damaged. If liquids or water accidentally get into the drum console, unplug it immediately. In all the above
cases, have the digital drum console checked by your authorized GEWA customer service team. Never use damaged power supplies/cables. Protect the power cable from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.

WARNING

Fire Prevention

Ensure a minimum distance of 7 cm (three inches) around the apparatus for sufficient ventilation.

Ensure that the ventilation is not impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as

newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus. Candles or oil lamps

can tip over and cause a fire.

Never bring open fire on or near to the digital drum set.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Use the apparatus only in moderate climates (not in tropical climates).

WARNING

Unusual Behavior
Switch the drum console off or unplug it immediately if: o there is a sudden loss of sound while the drum console is in use. o the console emits an unusual smell or smoke.
It is essential to have the drum console checked by your GEWA customer service team.

CAUTION

Damaging the Apparatus

Mismatching electrical voltages can damage the console. Operate the digital drum console only

within the correct voltage range (marked on the corresponding specs plate).

Only use the power supply and power cable supplied with the device.

Never place the power cable near to heat sources such as radiators or radiant heaters.

Do not sharply bend the cable, or damage it in any way (! risk of cable break!).

Position the power cable in a way to avoid tripping or anything heavy rolling over it.

Do not place any objects on the power cable.

Check the power supply regularly and remove any visible dust or dirt on the device.

CAUTION

Damage by Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms can produce electrical surges that are able to damage your drum console.

During thunderstorms, or if you will not use your drum console for a while, we suggest you unplug

your console from the electrical system completely .

1.3

PROPER HANDLING
Please keep your digital drum console in a dry environment. Audio accessories for audio playback (connected to the in- or output of the console) or for data communication can be connected. Accessories must match the relevant technical specifications (see “Technical Date” section. Only and always use GEWA certified power adapters, and make sure that they are properly attached and connected. The power supply used must also meet the country’s voltage specifications (check plate on the adapter). The digital drum set is only to be used as originally delivered. Any modifications to the drum set are not allowed and result in a complete loss of warranty. The digital drum set must be set up on a safe weight-bearing, stable and even ground or platform able to support the weight (please therefore see “Technical Data” section).

1.4

IMPROPER USE (EXAMPLES)
Exposing the digital drum console to an open air or moist/rainy environment. Setting up the digital drum set in damp rooms. Using power supplies not authorized by GEWA music or connecting the console to an electrical outlet despite mismatching local voltage specifications. Playing the digital drum set close to electrical or electronic devices, such as stereo systems, TV sets, radios or mobile phones. These devices can cause interferences and seriously effect and decrease the sound quality of your GEWA digital drum set. Using extensively long audio leads can likewise interfere with the sound quality. Transport and setup up in conjunction with strong vibrations and shocks, dust and heat exposure (e.g.in vehicles or direct sunshine or both), should also definitely be avoided. Playing on the display with drumsticks or other solid objects can damage the protective glass. Only use your fingers and ensure enough distance between the module and the connected equipment.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable in case of damages in the following cases:

Non-compliance with the safety instructions Improper handling Connecting incompatible in/output devices etc. or other 3rd party interface devices.
