5. જાળવણી

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Korg Volca FM2, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• સફાઈ: યુનિટની સપાટી સાફ કરવા માટે નરમ, સૂકા કપડાનો ઉપયોગ કરો. ઘર્ષક ક્લીનર્સ અથવા સોલવન્ટ્સ ટાળો.
• સંગ્રહ: યુનિટને સીધા સૂર્યપ્રકાશ અને અતિશય તાપમાનથી દૂર ઠંડી, સૂકી જગ્યાએ સંગ્રહિત કરો.
• બેટરી સંભાળ: જો યુનિટ લાંબા સમય સુધી ઉપયોગમાં ન આવે તો લીકેજ અટકાવવા માટે બેટરીઓ દૂર કરો.

6. મુશ્કેલીનિવારણ

If you encounter issues with your Volca FM2, consider the following common solutions:
