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.
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.
• When disposing of the packing carton or
cushioning material in which this unit was
packed, you must observe the waste disposal
regulations that apply to your locality.
• 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
