• Before using this unit, make sure to read
the instructions below, and the Owner’s
Manual.
........................................................................
• Do not open or perform any internal mod-
ifications on the unit.
........................................................................
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or
replace parts within it (except when this
manual provides specific instructions
directing you to do so). Refer all servicing
to your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
........................................................................
• Never use or store the unit in places that
are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle,
near a heating duct, on top of heat-gen-
erating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet
floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.
........................................................................
• Make sure you always have the unit
placed so it is level and sure to remain sta-
ble. Never place it on stands that could
wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
........................................................................
• The unit should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the
operating instructions, or as marked on
the rear side of unit.
........................................................................
• Use only the attached power-supply cord.
........................................................................
• Do not excessively twist or bend the
power cord, nor place heavy objects on it.
Doing so can damage the cord, producing
severed elements and short circuits.
Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
• This unit, either alone or in combination
with an amplifier and headphones or
speakers, may be capable of producing
sound levels that could cause permanent
hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of
time at a high volume level, or at a level that is
uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss
or ringing in the ears, you should immediately
stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
........................................................................
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable
material, coins, pins); or liquids of any
kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate
the unit.
........................................................................
• Immediately turn the power off, remove
the power cord from the outlet, and
request servicing by your retailer, the
nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page when:
• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the
plug has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been
spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise
has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
........................................................................
• In households with small children, an
adult should provide supervision until the
child is capable of following all the rules
essential for the safe operation of the unit.
........................................................................
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
........................................................................
•Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord
to share an outlet with an unreasonable
number of other devices. Be especially
careful when using extension cords—the total
power used by all devices you have connected to
the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the
power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension
cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on
the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
........................................................................
•Before using the unit in a foreign country,
consult with your retailer, the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
• Do not put anything that contains water
(e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also,
avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near
the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid
that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
• The unit should be located so that its loca-
tion or position does not interfere with its
proper ventilation.
........................................................................
• Always grasp only the plug on the power-
supply cord when plugging into, or
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
........................................................................
• At regular intervals, you should unplug
the power plug and clean it by using a dry
cloth to wipe all dust and other accumula-
tions away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet whenever the
unit is to remain unused for an extended period of
time. Any accumulation of dust between the
power plug and the power outlet can result in
poor insulation and lead to fire.
........................................................................
• Try to prevent cords and cables from
becoming entangled. Also, all cords and
cables should be placed so they are out of
the reach of children.
........................................................................
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy
objects on the unit.
........................................................................
• Never handle the power cord or its plugs
with wet hands when plugging into, or
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
........................................................................
• Before moving the unit, disconnect the
power plug from the outlet, and pull out
all cords from external devices.
........................................................................
• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the
power and unplug the power cord from
the outlet (p. 18).
........................................................................
• Whenever you suspect the possibility of
lightning in your area, pull the plug on the
power cord out of the outlet.
