Taking Care of Your EZ Module
1. Important safety guidelines
Your EZ module will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the rules shown below:
Location
To avoid deformation, discoloration, or more
serious damage, do not expose the unit to the
following conditions:
• Direct sunlight, such as near a window.
• High temperature (near a heat source, in a
car during the day time, outdoors, etc.)
• Excessive humidity
• Excessive dust
• Strong vibration
Cleaning
• Clean the EZ module with a soft dry cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or
thinner.
• Avoid keeping vinyl objects in contact with
the unit as it may stick and/or cause
discoloration.
Power Supply
• Turn the power switch OFF when the EZ
module is not in use.
• Use the supplied AC-adapter appropriate for
your location
• The AC adaptor should be unplugged from
the AC outlet if the EZ module is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
• Unplug the AC adaptor during electric
storms.
• Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same
AC outlet as appliances with high power
consumption, such as electric heaters or
ovens.
• Avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these
can result in reduced sound quality, operation
errors, and possible damage.
Handling and Transport
• Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors, or other parts of the EZ module.
• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, pulling it straight out, not pulling on the
wire portion of the cable.
Turn the Power OFF When Making
Connections
To avoid damage to the EZ module and other
devices to which it is connected, turn the
power OFF on all devices prior to connecting
or disconnecting cables.
Electrical Interference
• The EZ module is an electronic instrument
that may cause interference if placed too close
to radios or television sets. If this occurs,
separate the affected devices.
LPintech is NOT responsible for damage caused by
abuse, improper operation, or improper handling.

music. The volume of the external device can be mixed in using the AUX IN volume slider.
5. Connecting to an Amplifier
The audio may be played through an amplifier using one or both AUX OUT. For mono amplifiers,
use the L/MONO with a mono cable. For a stereo amplifier or two mono amplifiers, use both AUX
