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.
• 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 allow objects to remain on top of
the keyboard. This can be the cause of
malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce
sound.
• 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
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of
discoloration and/or deformation.
Care of the Keyboard
• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen
or other implement, and do not stamp or
place any marking on the instrument. Ink
will seep into the surface lines and become
unremovable.
• Do not ax stickers on the keyboard. You
may be unable to remove stickers that use
strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause
discoloration.
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially
available keyboard cleaner that does not
contain abrasives. Start by wiping lightly.
If the dirt does not come o, wipe using
gradually increasing amounts of pressure
while taking care not to scratch the keys.
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
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost
as the result of equipment failure, incorrect
operation, etc. To protect yourself against the
irretrievable loss of data, try to make a habit
of creating regular backups of the data you’ve
stored in the unit.
• 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.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the
display.
• 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.
• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations
produced by playing an instrument can be
transmitted through a oor or wall to an
unexpected extent. Please take care not to
cause annoyance to others nearby.
• Use only the specied expression pedal. By
connecting any other expression pedals, you
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to
the unit.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a
built-in resistor.
Using External Memories
• Please observe the following precautions
when handling external memory devices.
Also, make sure to carefully observe all the
precautions that were supplied with the
external memory device.
• Do not remove the device while reading/
writing is in progress.
• To prevent damage from static electricity,
discharge all static electricity from your
person before handling the device.
