Periodically clean the power plug
An accumulation of dust or foreign objects
between the power plug and the power
outlet can lead to re or electric shock.
At regular intervals, be sure to pull out
the power plug, and using a dry cloth,
wipe away any dust or foreign objects that may have
accumulated.
Disconnect the power plug whenever the unit will
not be used for an extended period of time
Fire may result in the unlikely event that a
breakdown occurs.
Route all power cords and cables in such a way as
to prevent them from getting entangled
Injury could result if someone were to
trip on a cable and cause the unit to fall
or topple.

If the power plug is not removed from the
outlet, you risk causing malfunction or
receiving an electric shock.
Precautions concerning use of phantom power
supply
Always turn the phantom power o
when connecting any device other than
condenser microphones that require
phantom power. You risk causing damage
if you mistakenly supply phantom power
to dynamic microphones, audio playback devices, or
other devices that don’t require such power. Be sure to
check the specications of any microphone you intend
to use by referring to the manual that came with it.
(This instrument’s phantom power: 48 V DC, 14 mA
Max)
Do not remove the speaker grille and speaker
Do not remove the speaker grille and
speaker by any means. Speaker is not user
replaceable. Shock hazardous voltages and
currents are present inside the enclosure.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit 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 unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise lter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change
the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
• This unit may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this unit 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 unit. 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 unit, or switch them o.
• Do not allow lighting devices that normally are used
while their light source is very close to the unit (such
as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine
upon the same area of the unit for extended periods
of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
• When moved from one location to another where
the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent,
water droplets (condensation) may form inside
the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you
attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore,
before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has completely
evaporated.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this
instrument. Peeling such matter o the instrument
may damage the exterior nish.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet
may discolor or mar the surface.
• Do not place containers or anything else containing
liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid
has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure
to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• To clean the unit, 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 nish.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to
make a backup of the data stored within it; or you
may prefer to write down the needed information.
Although we will do our utmost to preserve the
data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs,
in some cases, such as when the memory section
is physically damaged, restoration of the stored
content may be impossible. Roland assumes no
liability concerning the restoration of any stored
content that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in
resistor.

• It is forbidden by law to make an audio recording,
video recording, copy or revision of a third party’s
