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 filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.
304a
• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off
the power on this unit and disconnect any other
devices you may have connected. This way, you can
prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices.
Add
• Before using the batteries, please read any cautions
and other instructions that came with the batteries.
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off
the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
• 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 off.
354a
• 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.
355b
• 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.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet
may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber
feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so,
please make sure that the unit will not slip or move
accidentally.
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.
Repairs and Data
452
• 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 backed up on your
computer, or 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.
Memory Backup
503
• If the unit’s power is not turned on for several days the
contents of certain items you’ve set, such as the date
and time, will be lost.
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 periodically save a backup copy
of important data you have stored in the unit’s
memory on your computer or written down on paper
(when possible).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored memory card once it
has been lost. Roland Corporation 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.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
5
IMPORTANT NOTES
555
• A small amount of noise may be heard from the
display during normal operation.
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.
558a
• 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).
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.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
• Depending on the conditions in which you use the R09HR, you may notice a slight sensation of discomfort
or roughness when touching the R-09HR itself or a
metal part of a connected mic. This is due to an
extremely small electrical charge which poses
absolutely no danger to the human body. If this
bothers you, you can use the R-09HR on battery
power as desired.

Cautions when using batteries
with the R-09HR
• Carefully follow the installation instructions
for batteries, and make sure you observe
the correct polarity.
• Avoid using new batteries together with
used ones. In addition, avoid mixing
different types of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is
to remain unused for an extended period
of time.
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of
cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of
the discharge from the battery
compartment. Then install new batteries. To
avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure
that none of the battery discharge gets onto
your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost
caution so that none of the discharge gets
near your eyes. Immediately rinse the
affected area with running water if any of
the discharge has entered the eyes.
• When connecting to a PC via a USB
cable, always use the AC adaptor to
prevent power failures during connection.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic
objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces,
hairpins, etc.
Remaining battery power indication
When the battery power becomes low, a
low battery icon is shown in the
lower right of the display. Please replace
the batteries as soon as possible.
If batteries with low power are used, the
“Battery Low” message is displayed and
all R-09HR functions will eventually stop.
Power saving feature
The R-09HR is equipped with a power
saving feature designed to prevent the
unnecessary consumption of power. If no
operation is performed for a set amount of
time, the display will be darkened or the
power will be shut off according to the
settings for the power saving feature.
