Connect two capability switches and drum all day on our stylish
wooden bongos. They have great sound and are made with high
quality wood. Easy to tune with attached bongo key underneath.
Size: 18"L x 12"W x 11½"H. Requires 4 D Batteries.
Operation:
1. The Bongo Drums require 4 D size batteries. Use alkaline
batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use
rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries because
they supply lower voltage and the unit will not perform
properly. Never mix old and new batteries together or different
brands or types of batteries together.
2. The battery compartment is located under the drum base.
Carefully turn the unit over to reveal the battery compartment.
Remove the small Phillips Head screw from the cover, and then
slide the cover to one side. Next install new batteries, being
careful to observe proper + & - battery polarity. Slide cover
closed and replace screw.
3. Connect the unit to any two external capability switches via the
jacks, located on the back of the drum base. The Bongo Drums
are equipped with two 1/8-inch female jacks, for use with
capability switches with a 1/8-inch plug. If you need to use a
1/4- to 1/8-inch adapter, it must be a mono adapter, (our
No.1170) not stereo.
4. Make sure that all connections are tight. There should be no
gaps.
5. Activate the external capability switches to make the
drumstick(s) hit the Bongos.
6. The Bongo Drums will continue beating while as long as the
external capability switch continues to be activated. Once you
release the switches, the Drumstick(s) will stop hitting the
Bongos.7. The Bong Drums can be tuned using the attached key which is
held in place inside one of the Bongs with Velcro.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The Bongo Drums fail to operate.
Action #1: Be sure drumstick(s) are not stuck against the face of the
drum pads. If they are, gently pull it away from the face of the
drum pad and gently straighten spring.
Action #2: If the drumstick(s) are not stuck against the face of the
drum pad, replace the batteries paying attention to proper + & -
polarity.
Problem: The drum stick(s) spins, but either (a) does not strike the
drum pads, or (b) does not strike the drums properly.
Action #1: Gently bend the drumstick(s) slightly at the spring to the
appropriate position for optimal play.
Care of the Unit:
The base and sides of the Bongo Drums can be wiped clean with any
mild household multi-purpose, non-abrasive cleaner and
disinfectant. We recommend Simple Green, which is a non toxic
biodegradable all-purpose cleaner.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the surface of the
unit.
Do not submerge the unit, as it will damage the electrical
components.
