Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit
with a soft, dry cloth or one that has
been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive
detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possi­bility of discoloration and/or defor­mation.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of
memory can be irretrievably lost as a
result of a malfunction, or the improper
operation of the unit. To protect yourself
against the risk of loosing important
data, we recommend that you write
down important data you have stored in
the unit's memory on paper.

452/552

• Please be aware that all data contained
in the unit's memory may be lost when
the unit is sent for repairs. Important
data should always be 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
Roland assumes no liability concerning
such loss of data.

553

• 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.

556

• When connecting / 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.

559a

• When you need to transport the unit,
package it in the box (including
padding) that it came in, if possible.
Otherwise, you will need to use equiv­alent packaging materials.
