The symbol alerts the user to important instructions or
warnings.The specific meaning of the symbol is
determined by the design contained within the triangle. In
the case of the symbol at left, it is used for general
cautions, warnings, or alerts to danger.

The symbol alerts the user to items that must never be
carried out (are forbidden). The specific thing that must not
be done is indicated by the design contained within the

case of the symbol at left, it means that the power-cord
plug must be unplugged from the outlet.

006

• When using the unit with a stand recommended by
Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so it is level
and sure to remain stable. If not using a 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.

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

008a

• 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.

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

008e

• Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the
supplied power cord must not be used with any other
device.

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

010

• 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.

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

011

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

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

015

• 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.
