Please observe the following precaution tips to ensure safe use of this unit.
Power Considerations
Since power consumption of this unit is high, we recommend the use of an AC adapter.
If you use batteries, please use alkaline batteries.
AC Adapter Operation
• Always use a DC9V center negative 500mA AC adapter. Use of an adapter other than that
specified could damage the unit or cause malfunction and pose a safety hazard.
• Always connect the AC adapter to an AC outlet that supplies the rated voltage required by
the adapter.
• When disconnecting the AC adapter from an AC outlet, always pull the adapter itself.
• During lightning storms or when not using the unit for an extended period, disconnect the
AC adapter from the AC outlet.
Battery Operation
• Use 4 conventional 1.5V AAA batteries (or nickel metal hydride batteries).
• Carefully read the safety indications on the batteries before use.
• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove the batteries from the unit.
• If battery leakage should occur, thoroughly wipe the battery holder and the battery
terminals to remove battery fluid.
• Close the battery holder cover when using the RAVO.
Alterations
Never open the case or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in
damage to the unit. HOTONE Corporation will not assume responsibility for any damage
to the unit caused by alterations.
Volume
Do not use the RAVO at a loud volume for a long time since this could cause hearing
impairment.
With any type of digital control device, the RAVO included, electromagnetic interference could
cause malfunction and could corrupt or destroy data. Please use caution.
Cleaning
Use a soft cloth to clean the panels if they become dirty. If necessary, slightly moisten the
cloth. Never use cleansers, wax, or solvents such as paint thinner, benzene or alcohol.
Malfunction
If the unit should malfunction, disconnect the AC adapter and turn the power OFF immediately.
Then, disconnect all other connected cables.
Prepare information including the model name, serial number, specific symptoms related to
the malfunction, your name, address and telephone number and contact the store where you
bought the unit, or contact HOTONE support.
● Module
As shown in Panel Introduction section (→P9), you can use up to 8 effect units
simultaneously. Each of these units is called a “module”.
● Effect type
Among the modules, some allow different “effect types” to be activated. For example, when
using the MOD module you can choose one of several modulation effect types, including
chorus, flanger, tremolo, and so on.
● Parameter
Variables that determine the application of an effect are called “parameters”. If we imagine
each module as a separate effect pedal, then each parameter would be a knob on that pedal.
● Patch
The ON/OFF status of each module and the parameter settings are stored in units called
“patches”. Use patches to recall and save effects.
● Mode
Each operation status of the RAVO is called a “mode”. Depending on the currently selected
mode, the functions of keys and knobs change. The modes include the play mode in which
you choose a patch and play your instrument, the rhythm mode in which you can play back a
rhythm pattern, the edit mode in which you can create and change patches, and the store
mode in which you can save patches.
