ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

Do not open or perform any internal modifications on the

unit. (The only exception would be where this manual provides specific instructions which should be followed in order to put in place user-installable options.)

.................................................................................................................................................................................

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 install the unit in any of the following locations.

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

Exposed to steam or smoke; or are

Subject to salt exposure; or are

Humid; or are

Exposed to rain; or are

Dusty or sandy; or are

Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness.

.................................................................................................................................................................................

This unit should be used only with a rack or stand that

is recommended by Roland.

.................................................................................................................................................................................

When using the unit with a rack or stand

recommended by Roland, the rack or stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.

.................................................................................................................................................................................

Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

......................................................................................................................

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!)

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.

......................................................................................................................

Anything that you’ve removed, whether it be the knob

that fastens bracket, tuning bolts, washers, clip, or the screw that fastens covering must be placed in a safe location out of the reach of children, so there’s no

chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

......................................................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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 rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

Maintenance

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, nonabrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

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

Additional Precautions

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 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.

To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.

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.

The snare stand is supported by means of a tripod. When installing the drum set, make sure the legs of the tripod are opened wide enough to keep the equipment from falling over.

The rubber portion is treated with a preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.

Do not insert your hands or fingers in the locations marked by the arrows. Otherwise, you risk injury and possible damage to this unit’s parts.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 2) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 3). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.
