2IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before using this unit, please read the following Safety instructions, and adhere to them.
Keep this manual close by for easy reference.
In this manual, the degrees of danger are classied and explained as follows:
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
is sign shows there is a risk of death or severe injury if this unit is not properly used
as instructed.
is sign shows there is a risk of injury or material damage if this unit is not properly
used as instructed.
*Material damage here means a damage to the room, furniture or animals or pets.
Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC
adaptor.
Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts in
it. Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Ham-
mond Dealer, or an authorized Hammond distributor,
as listed on the “Service” page.
Never use or store the unit in places that are:
Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sun-
light in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct,
on top of heat generating equipment)
Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet oors)
Humid
Exposed to rain
Dusty
Subject to high levels of vibration.
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the
unit. And, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specied on the AC adap-
tor’s case. Other AC adaptors may use a dierent po-
larity, or be designed for a dierent voltage, their use
could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, or
place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the
cord, producing severed elements and short circuits.
Damaged cords are re and shock hazards!
is unit, either alone or in combination with an am-
plier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of
producing sound levels that could cause permanent
hearing loss. Do not operate for a extended periods of
time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncom-
fortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ring-
ing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the
unit, and consult a physician.
Do not allow any objects (e.g., ammable material,
coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, so drinks,
etc.) to penetrate the unit.
Immediately turn the power o, remove the AC adap-
tor from the outlet, and request servicing by your re-
tailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or an authorized
Hammond distributor, as listed on the “Service” page
when:
e AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the
plug has been damaged; or
If smoke or unusual odor occurs
Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled
onto the unit; or
e unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise
has become wet); or
e unit does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
In households with small children, an adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable of fol-
lowing all the rules essential for the safe operation of
the unit.
Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.
Be especially careful when using extension cords - the
total power used by all devices you have connected
to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the
power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to
heat up and eventually melt through.
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or
an authorized Hammond distributor, as listed on the
“Service” page.
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., ower
vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near
the unit. Swily wipe away any liquid that spills on the
unit using a dry, so cloth.

Introduction
CAUTION
e unit and the AC adaptor should be located so
their location or position does not interfere with their
proper ventilation.
Always handle the AC adaptor by the plug when plug-
ging into, or unplugging from an outlet or this unit.
At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adap-
tor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust
and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also,
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet
whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended
period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the
power plug and the power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to re.
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming en-
tangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so
they are out of the reach of children.
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the
unit
Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet
hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an
outlet of this unit.
Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor
and all cords coming from external devices.
Before cleaning the unit, turn o the power and un-
plug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in
your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.
In the unlikely event that you need to dispose of this unit, be
sure to contact your dealer or your nearest town or municipal
office for its proper disposal.

4IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Power Supply
Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric mo-
tor or variable lighting system).
e AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours
of consecutive use. is is normal, and is not a cause for
concern.
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. is will help prevent malfunctions and/
or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
is device may interfere with radio and television recep-
tion. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call,
or while conversing. Should you experience such problems,
you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a
greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near de-
vices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not
allow lighting devices that normally are used while their
light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light),
or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the
unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can de-
form or discolor the unit.
When moved from one location to another where the tem-
perature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or mal-
function may result if you attempt to use the unit in this
condition. erefore, before using the unit, you must al-
low it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can dis-
color or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the ex-
terior finish.
Maintenance
To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly
dampened.
To remove stubborn dirt off plastic parts, use a cloth im-
pregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards,
be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of
strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the
wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the
finish.
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
Additional Precautions
Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irre-
trievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper
operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of
losing important data, we recommend that you periodically
save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the
unit’s memory in USB Flash drive.
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a se-
quencer) once it has been lost. Hammond assumes no li-
ability concerning such loss of data.
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s but-
tons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and
connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself - never pull on the cable. is will avoid
causing short circuits, or damage to the cable’s internal ele-
ments.
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use head-
phones, so you do not need to be concerned about those
around you (especially when it is late at night).
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
