1.4 Transport and storage

Pay attention to the following during transport and storage:

 Remove the music desk and the pedal board from the organ, before

transport.

 Store in an area with 40% to 60% relative humidity.

Do not store in area’s e.g. baths, washrooms, on wet floors, expose to

steam or smoke, salt, humid, rain, moisture, dusty or sandy locations.

 Minimum temperature within the storage area: 0°C

 Do not expose the Organ to direct sunlight (UV), do not place it near

devices that radiate heat, or otherwise subject to temperature extremes.

Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light

source is very close to the Organ (such as a piano light), or powerful

spotlights to shine upon the same area of the Organ for extended periods

of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the Organ.

 Do not allow rubber, vinyl or similar materials to remain on this Organ

for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor 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 and or discolor the exterior finish.

 Do not bend the power cord or place heavy objects on it.

 Don’t allow foreign objects or liquids to enter Organ;

Never place containers with liquid on Organ; Do not put anything that

contains water on this Organ. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,

perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the Organ. Swiftly

wipe away any liquid that spills on the Organ using a dry, soft cloth. Never

use benzene, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the

possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

 Unplug the power cord from the outlet before cleaning. Before cleaning

the Organ, turn it off and unplug the power cord from the outlet.

To clean the Organ, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened.

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.

 Do not open. Do not disassemble or modify by yourself

 Avoid climbing on top of the Organ, or placing heavy objects on it, nor

on top of the keyboard nor pedal board. This can lead to dangerous

situations - such as tilting / tipping over - shearing / falling off of heavy

objects. This can also lead to malfunctions - such as keys ceasing to

produce sound.

 Do not bend, drop, strong shock or vibration.

 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

 Cautions when moving this Organ: Since this product is very heavy, you

must make sure that a sufficient number of people are on hand to help, so

you can lift and move it safely, without causing strain. Make sure to have

a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from

damage. If you need to move the instrument, consult with your retailer,

or Global Organ Group B.V.

User Manual American Classic 770

1.5 Cautions and important notes

Indoor use only.

Connect the power cord to an outlet of the correct voltage. The Organ should be

connected to a power supply only of the type described as marked under the keyboard

deck of Organ.

Make sure that the power cord is grounded. Connect mains plug of this model to a

mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands. Never handle the power

cord or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet.

Turn off the Organ if an abnormality or malfunction occurs. Immediately turn the

Organ off, remove the power cord from the outlet, and request servicing by your

retailer, or Global Organ Group B.V., when:

• The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

• If smoke or unusual odor occurs; or

• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the Organ; or

• The Organ has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or

• The Organ does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in

performance.

Do not use overseas, foreign countries. Before using the Organ in a foreign country,

consult with your retailer, or Global Organ Group B.V.

Presence of children. For their safety, adults should make sure that children under the

age of 16 use the instrument properly and that the organ is in a stable position. An adult

should always be present to supervise and guide any use by a child. Due to the weight of

the instrument, it is recommended that it be securely fixed to the wall or floor by a

professional to prevent tipping over. This is despite the fact that all safety precautions

have been taken to avoid accidents.

Do not connect this Organ to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical

appliance that is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing

machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner). Depending on the way in which the

electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this Organ to malfunction or

may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet,

connect a power supply noise filter between this Organ and the electrical outlet.

Do not share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Do not force

the Organ’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 - therefore always completely

unwind an extension cord.

To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn off the

power on all your equipment before you make any connections.

User Manual American Classic 770

Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the Organ is turned off, this does not

mean that the Organ has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If

you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the Organ’s switch, then unplug

the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose

to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily

accessible.

If there is a possibility of lightning strike, disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, pull the plug on

the power cord out of the outlet.

Periodically clean the power cord’s plug. At regular intervals, you should unplug

the power plug 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 Organ 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 fire.

The settings you were editing will be lost when the Organ is turned off. If you want to

keep your settings, you must save your settings before turning the Organ off.

Place in a well ventilated location. The Organ should be located so that its location or

position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

Manage cables for safety. Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled.

Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

Grasp the plug when connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Always grasp only

the plug on the power-supply cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet.

Precautions concerning use of bench. When using the bench, please observe the

following points:

• Do not allow two or more persons to sit on the bench.

• Do not adjust the height while sitting on the bench.

Do not remove the speaker grille and speaker. Do not remove the speaker grille and

speaker by any means. Speaker not user replaceable. Shock hazardous voltages

and currents are present inside the enclosure.

Disconnecting power from AC mains. To completely disconnect this apparatus

from the AC mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.

The power supply cord and/or main power switch must be accessible. The mains plug

of the power supply cord shall remain readily accessible. Or, the power switch must be

accessible. The main power switch is the main power disconnect device for this Organ.

Therefore, the power switch shall be readily accessible.

Do not use internal connections. Do connect, do not use internal connections for

optional external speakers by yourself. Refer all servicing to your retailer, or Global

Organ Group B.V.

1.6 Placement

 Using the Organ near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power

transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of

this Organ; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

 This device may interfere with radio and television reception. 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 Organ. 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 Organ, or

switch them off.

 Do not expose the Organ to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, 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 Organ (such as a piano

light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the Organ for extended

periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the Organ.

 Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on this Organ for long

periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

 Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard or pedal board. This can be

the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

 Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off

the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

 Do not put anything that contains water on this Organ. Also, avoid the use of

insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the Organ. Swiftly

wipe away any liquid that spills on the Organ using a dry, soft cloth.

 Due to the weight of the instrument, it is recommended to attach the instrument

securely to the wall or floor by a professional, to avoid tipping. This, although all safety

1.7 Repairs and data

Please be aware that all data contained in the Organ’s memory may be lost when the

Organ is sent for repairs. Important data should always be stored, written down on

paper (when possible).

During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases

(such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may

not be possible to restore the data, and Global Organ Group B.V. assumes no liability

concerning such loss of data. Refer all servicing to your retailer, or Global Organ Group

B.V.

User Manual American Classic 770

1.8 Additional precautions

 Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result

of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the Organ. To protect yourself

against the risk of losing important data, we recommend that you periodically

write down important setting data (when possible).

 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was

stored in the Organ’s memory once it has been lost. Global Organ Group B.V.

assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the Organ’s buttons, sliders, or

other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can

lead to malfunctions.

 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

 A small amount of heat will radiate from the Organ during normal operation.

 To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long

periods. This Organ, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and

headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could

cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high

volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing

loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the Organ, and

consult an audiologist.

 To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the Organ’s volume at reasonable

levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned

about those around you.

 When you need to transport the Organ, pack it in shock-absorbent material.

Transporting the Organ without doing so can cause it to become scratched or

damaged, and could lead to malfunction.

 Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.

 Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate

resistors for connecting to this Organ. The use of such cables can cause the

sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable

specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

 Due to the structural design of this instrument, small pets or other animals could

end up getting trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered, you must

immediately turn off the Organ and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

You should then consult with the retailer from whom the instrument was

purchased, or contact Global Organ Group B.V.

 The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should

typically be shown by the display.

Note, however, that your Organ may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes

newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
