To prevent breakdowns and ensure years of reliable, trouble-free service, shield it from: - Direct sunlight and exposure to the elements - Extremes in temperature or humidity - Dusty environment - Vibration...especially during transport Power Supply • Use only AC adaptor shipped with the MIDI KEY II and connect it only to a power supply with a voltage within the limits stated on the ratings plate on the backs. • Make sure that all power switches are off before changing equipment connections. • Check all equipment connections before applying the power. • Do not connect to the same circuit as a heavy load or equipment that generates line noise. Line Noise Reset The high-speed microprocessor at the core of the MIDI KEY II is extremely sensitive to line noise and sudden fluctuations in the supply voltage. Should it "lock up" under such conditions, simply turn the MIDI KEY M's power off for a few seconds and then reapply the power. Cleaning • Clean the instrument with a soft cloth, a mild detergent, and lukewarm water. • Never use harsh or abrasive cleansers or organic solvents. Battery Backup The lithium battery that protects the memory contents while the power to the unit is off is good for more than five years of normal use. We recommend, however, that you have your nearest authorized service representative replace it promptly after five years. 2 CONTENTS FEATURES .........................................................................1 Care and Maintenance ...................................................2 CONTENTS........................................................................3 Name of Parts .................................................................4 1.
