electric shocks.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure many years of trouble free operation, please follow the advice below:
• Never use any aggressive cleaners on the casing or the LCD overlay. Remove
dust, dirt and fingerprints with a soft dry cloth. More persistent dirt can be
removed with a slightly damp cloth using only water.
• To avoid scratches or damage, never use sharp objects near the display. Also
avoid applying any pressure to the display itself.
• When transport ing the Octatrack, preferably use the box and padding the unit
originally shipped with.
• Make sure you place the unit on a stable surface before use. If you mount the unit
in a rack, be sure to tighten all four screws in the rack mount holes.
• The memory used fo r storing p atte rns and p art s is powered by a b attery inside the
unit. It will hold data at least 6 years before needing replacement. If the battery
needs replacement, the “BATTER Y LOW” message will appear in the display. Con-
tact Elektron support or your nearest repair center.
• Turn off the machine when it is not in use. Use the power switch.
