Grounding Terminal
In some cases, depending on the environment in which the unit is installed, the surface of the panel may
sometimes feel rough and grainy. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely
harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) 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” page.
