paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge
from the battery compartment. Then install new
battery. 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.

6

• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects

such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.

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

112

• Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance with
whatever regulations for their safe disposal that may be
observed in the region in which you live.

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

(Add)

• When using brushes, be sure to use nylon brushes.
Using metal brushes will not only scratch the head, but
can also be hazardous, since the tip of the brush may
catch in the mesh of the net.

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

IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2–3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

301

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being

used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, power 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.

303a

• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power

consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use
batteries, please use the alkaline type.

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.

306b

• A battery is supplied with the unit. The life of this battery may be

limited, however, since its primary purpose was to enable testing.

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 temper-

ature 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.

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 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.

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 you to write it down.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored in the unit’s memory 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.

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).

558d

• 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.

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.
