Handling Precautions
• Never connect or disconnect plugs to/from the input/output terminals on the LDP-1 when the external device that drives speakers is powered.
Doing so can cause noises and damage the speakers.
• Avoid applying excessive force to the tact switches and input/output terminals on the LDP-1.
• If the unit malfunctions or behaves erratically, cease operation at once and contact your local dealer or Free The Tone directly.
