IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the
following:
Placement
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.
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.
Additional Precautions
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.
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.
558c
• Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not
to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors,
especially at night and when using headphones. Although
the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a
minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when
they’re struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder
sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively
reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by
switching to mesh heads.
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
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• 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.

Use of other screws may result in damage to the unit.
928

four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the
unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
