Observe the following points and your PDP-300 will sound and look great for many years. 1. Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry. 2. Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and cover the instrument with the dust cover provided. 3. Clean the cabinet and keys of your PDP-300 only with a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the finish. 4. Never place any vinyl products on your PDP-300. Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish. 5. Install your PDP-300 in a place that is away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity or heat. 6. Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your PDP-300, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. PREPARATION • Check your power supply Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. • The music stand If you will be using sheet music with your PDP-300, raise the music stand built into it's top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand until it clicks into place. The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting the stand and pressing the two brackets which support it inward. FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A.) 1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT MODIFY THIS UNIT!
