Yamaha EV-205 Owner's Manual - Page 3

Your Electric Violin will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rules given below: ■ Location Do not expose it to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage. • Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window). • High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime). • Excessive humidity. • Excessive dust. • Strong vibration. ■ Turn Power OFF When Making Connections • To avoid damage to the Electric Violin and other devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio cables. ■ 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. ■ 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). YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation. 3
