IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet
that is being used by an electrical appliance that
is controlled by an inver ter or a motor (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or
air conditioner). 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
lter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and
is not a cause for concern.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (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.
• This unit may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• 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 o.
• When moved from one location to another where
the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent,
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.
• 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.
• Do not place containers or anything else
containing liquid on top of this unit. Also,
whenever any liquid has been spilled on the
surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe it
away using a soft, dr y cloth.
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, non-abrasive 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.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to
make a backup of the data stored within it; or you
may prefer to write down the needed information.
Although we will do our utmost to preserve the
data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs,
in some cases, such as when the memory section
is physically damaged, restoration of the stored
content may be impossible. Roland assumes no
liability concerning the restoration of any stored
content that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the
result of equipment failure, incorrect operation,
etc. To protect yourself against the irretrievable
loss of data, try to make a habit of creating regular
backups of the data you’ve stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability
restoration of any stored content that has been
lost.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using
the unit’s switches, jacks and connec tors. Rough
handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When 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 others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.

About the Power Supply
Connecting the AC Adaptor
Connect the AC Adaptor as shown in the gure below.
Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side
with textual information faces downwards.
The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Indicator
Ground terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting
sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, or the
metal portions of other objects. This is due to an innitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely
harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see gure)
with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the
particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” leaet.
Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in re or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)
