Important information

Power supply

• Do not plug the appliance into the same sockets as other electrical appliances controlled by an inverter (e.g. freezer, washing machine, microwave or air conditioner) or containing a motor. Depending on how the electrical appliance is used, disturbances in the power supply may cause malfunctions and/or produce audible noises.
• Before connecting the unit to other devices, all devices must be disconnected from the mains. This prevents malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the E-Drum near amplifiers (or other equipment with large power transformers) may cause a hum. To correct the problem, change the orientation of the unit or place it further away from the source of interference.
• This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Therefore, do not use this unit in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise can be caused by wireless communication devices, such as mobile phones, being used in the vicinity. Such noise may occur when receiving or initiating a call or during a conversation. If you experience such problems, you should place the wireless devices so that they are at a greater distance from the e-drum or turn them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near heat-emitting devices, leave it in a closed vehicle or otherwise expose it to extreme temperatures. Excessive heat may deform, discolor or damage the unit.

Maintenance

• For daily cleaning, wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or a cloth slightly moistened with water.
•  As sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls more than expected. Be careful that these sounds do not become a nuisance to neighbors, especially at night and when using headphones.
