⚡ POWER SUPPLY UPGRADE (CUSTOMIZED) & MAINTENANCE DONE

• Important Instructions: Please insert the plug into the new DC jack and supply the power. The original AC jack cannot be used and has been taped over to prevent accidental connection.

• 🔋 New Internal Battery Installed: The internal memory backup battery has been replaced with a brand-new battery to ensure user presets and memory settings remain saved long-term.
