USING THE UNIT SAFELY
WARNING
007
Do not place in an unstable
location
• Make sure you always have the
unit placed so it is level and sure
to remain stable. Never place it on
stands that could wobble, or on
inclined surfaces.
008c
Use only the supplied AC
adaptor and the correct voltage
• Be sure to use only the AC
adaptor supplied with the unit.
Also, make sure the line voltage
at the installation matches the
input voltage specied on the AC
adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors
may use a dierent polarity, or be
designed for a dierent voltage, so
their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
008e
Use only the supplied power
cord
• Use only the attached power-supply
cord. Also, the supplied power cord
must not be used with any other
device.
009
Do not bend the power cord or
place heavy objects on it
• Do not excessively twist or bend the
power cord, nor place heavy objects
on it. Doing so can damage the cord,
producing severed elements and
short circuits. Damaged cords are
re and shock hazards!
WARNING
010
Avoid extended use at high
volume
• This unit, either alone or in
combination with an amplier
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.

WARNING
015
Do not share an outlet with an
unreasonable number of other
devices
• Do not force the unit’s powersupply 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.

Do not use overseas
• Before using the unit in overseas,
consult with your retailer, the
nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” sheet.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
301 (QA-EMC)
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical
outlet that is being used by an electrical
appliance that is controlled by an
inverter 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.
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.
307
• To prevent malfunction and equipment
failure, always make sure to turn o the
power on all your equipment before you
make any connections.
Placement
351 (QA-EMC)
• 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.
352a (QA-EMC)
• This device may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this device
in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b (QA-EMC)
• 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.
355b
• 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.
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.
361
• 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, dry cloth.
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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
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 to 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.
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 losing important data, we recommend
that you periodically save a backup copy of
important data you have stored in the unit’s
memory to your computer.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to
restore the contents of data that was stored
in the unit’s memory or in your computer
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 jacks and connectors. Rough
handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
• 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.
558
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to
keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
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 specications, contact
the manufacturer of the cable.
