radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license) and amateur radio
stations (radio stations that require a license) operate within the operating
frequency band of this unit.
1. Before using this unit, make sure that no premises radio stations for mobile
object identification, specified low-power radio stations, or amateur radio
stations are used in the vicinity.
2. In the unlikely event that this unit causes harmful radio frequency
interference to a premises radio station for mobile object identification,
immediately change the operating location or stop using the radio waves,
and then contact KORG customer service to discuss measures for avoiding
interference (for example, installing partitions).
3. If any other problems occur, such as harmful radio frequency interference
of this unit with specified low-power radio stations for mobile object
